I also had problems with -O6.
I'm using:
% egcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/egcs-2.91.57/specs
gcc version egcs-2.91.57 19980901 (egcs-1.1 release)
When I compiled 2.1.126 with -O6, kernel froze at "OK now booting..."
message. Using -O2 there is no freeze at the boot time. Older kernels
boot OK even with -O6.
Just for information.
