Well regarding release 3.2, I frequently encounter problems to compile 
gcc itself because of some broken part (it seems to me normal because it 
is the present development branch) for which I open PR which was solved 
in the mean time.
And when I reach to compile gcc and the kernel, this was a problem with 
network connection which make crash the system.
So now if I can obtain an working kernel (as you) I would be able to 
continu to test other interesting thing.

Thanks a lot for info,
