Yes. I've got a hard time seeing why anyone would use GCC 3.x to build
current Linux kernels for Itanium (except when using an acient distro as
the base for kernel development).

The resulting binary should be faster, though. ;-) How about giving
GCC 4.3 a try, by the way? IIRC, GCC 4.2 has some aliasing issues
