Using a native compiler for ARM GNU/Linux I can build your code with both:

[stewart@stewart-nw15 stewart]$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/armv4l-unknown-linux-gnu/2.95.2/specs
gcc version 2.95.2 20000516 (release) [Rebel.com]
[@phobos gcc]# ./xgcc -v
Using builtin specs.
Configured with: /home/build-rpm/BUILD/gcc/configure --with-cpu=strongarm
--enable-languages=c,c++,objc,f77 --prefix=/usr/local --enable-shared
--enable-threads --without-cvs armv4l-unknown-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.0.1 20010710 (prerelease)

The 2.95.2 compiler has a few patches most of which should be in the 2.95
CVS branch.
