I had this same problem with 2.7.2.1, and had to spend a huge amount of time
reverting. This is such a fundamental problem that I'm really surprised that
anyone has gotten it to work, much less is advising people to upgrade to it!
Possibly it should have been marked as a beta version. Definitely it should
not be required for new kernels. :/
What seems to be happening is that gcc can't understand the output of gcc -E.
I'm not kidding.
Can I suggest that the kernel's gcc requirement remain at merely the cutting
edge (2.7.2) and not require beta versions that don't work yet? This is
getting ludicrous.
