That's not a surprise since in this case ide-dma.c won't be included 
into your kernel.

Works for me...

The systems seem to be different enough for ruling out a problem with a 
specific compiler or assembler version (in both cases, my versions 
are between your versions).

You don't have _any_ patches applied?
Your kernel comes directly from ftp.kernel.org (or one of it's mirrors)?

Does unsetting
  General setup
    Configure standard kernel features (for small systems)
      Optimize for size
help?

Please do the following:
- make V=1 O=../out.router.20041030/ bzImage
- cd ../out.router.20041030/
- the first command should have given you the failed gcc command;
  run it with the following changes:
  - replace "-c" with "-S"
  - replace "ide-dma.o" with "ide-dma.s"
- send me the resulting file drivers/ide/ide-dma.s
  (please Cc linux-kernel)
