>Description:
I was compiling a kernel today, using gcc-3.0.1 (as I just installed it), and it worked fine until:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.6/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=k6    -c -o acct.o acct.c

You may like to refer to the kernel source for the c file, as it's just kernel 2.4.6 as can be seen. I hope I've included enough info. Thanks. I also have some more info too as follows, and note that gcc 2.95 works fine.
bash-2.05# gcc -dumpversion
3.0.1
bash-2.05# gcc -dumpmachine
i686-pc-linux-gnu
bash-2.05# gcc-2.95.3 -dumpversion
2.95.3
