Ok. So the test really is for one particular version only.

That's easy. I'll just add a

        #ifdef CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER
        #if __GNUC__ == 2 && __GNUC_MINOR__ == 96
        #error This compiler is not safe with frame pointers
        #endif
        #endif

to <linux/compiler.h>. Yeah, it will get some fixed compilers too, but
that's just not worth worrying about - people will just have to turn off
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER and be happy.
