I would not expect it to. The issues that tend to arise in the Linux kernel are with device driver code and the like, where the kernel source often uses GCC extensions or presumptions about compiler behavior that do not continue to hold when the optimizer does something new. We have no particular reason to think that the proc server's crash is related to any compiler issues. If gnumach were behaving oddly, then it might well be a compiler issue with the device driver code (that comes from Linux).
