I doubt this matters, but emerge info at the top says 2.4.20-gentoo-r6
while you are working on the gaming kernel. That's a bit strange, but
probably not a problem.
I had trouble with the gcc3.3 stuff. One of the main problems was it
gets more strict about bits of code. I turned in two that made it into
-r7 I think. Maybe you found another?
Also, since it seems to be an assembler error, maybe you want to look at
your compile flags? I run an Athlon XP also, but I don't use these two
options:
-funroll-loops -fprefetch-loop-arrays
I checked Bugzilla but didn't see anything...
