Yes, confirmed. My version of gcc, I just sent you adding the
-funit-at-a-time hung after uncompressing the kernel. I booted a secondary
kernel, recompiled without it and all was fine again. Confirmed non-boot for
2.6.2-rc1-mm3 but without a doubt for all kernels previous where
-funit-at-a-time is active in the makefile.
