Perhaps gcc 3 is so much of a rewrite that no one has had time to
tighten up its code, yet.

That seems surprising for i386. Might not be a compiler bug per se,
since it is possible for the kernel to contain coding errors. Not sure
who compiles their kernel with gcc 3 -- perhaps you could inquire with
gentoo people (hi Bill)?
