I wonder if this is the ADDRESSOF optimization mis-compiling ioport.c

Can you try building ioport.c without optimization and see if your
kernel boots?

This would have worked with egcs-1.0.x since those releases do not
have the ADDRESSOF optimization.

It's also possible a bug in the egcs asm support is causing your
problems (I'm discussing it with some linux kernel folks).  I haven't
build a 2.1.* kernel in a long time, though I do have 2.0.33 kernels
built with egcs running on both my pcs.
