Re: Kernel Bug in 2.4.35 when compiled gcc>=4.2.0 and -march=c3

I still
suspect that because the behaviour is different between 4.1 and 4.2, it
might be a regression in 4.2,

The kernel code is wrong. It might have accidentally worked
with GCC-4.1, but that doesn't mean GCC-4.2 has regressed.
Only supported features that stop working are regressions;
invalid code that stops working is, well, in the worst case
an improvement in diagnostics ;-)
