gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)

GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2.2 20041220 (SuSE Linux)

GNU assembler version 2.15.94.0.2.2 (x86_64-suse-linux) using BFD version 2.15.94.0.2.2 20041220 (SuSE Linux)

It's the default setup for SUSE 9.3 64-bit.

Strangely enough, I've compiled 2.6.12-rc4 and 2.6.12-rc3-mm2 with the same
gcc/binutils and they work fine.

Greets,
Rafael
