Weird... 2.6.9 kills FC2 gcc

The following appears in 2.6.9 release kernel, building with stock FC2
gcc on x86, but does not appear in 2.6.9-final:

> AS arch/i386/kernel/vsyscall.o
> cc1: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
> Please submit a full bug report,
> with preprocessed source if appropriate.
> See <URL:http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla> for instructions.
> make[1]: *** [arch/i386/kernel/vsyscall.o] Error 1
> make: *** [arch/i386/kernel] Error 2

This is 100% reproducible, at the same location (vsyscall), which is
strange because vsyscall didn't change AFAICS.

I'll build a gcc 3.4.2 without Fedora Core patches and see if the
behavior persists.

But in the meantime, if anybody else knows what line of code causes this
segfault, please speak up :)
