Subject: weirdness with compiling a 2.6.33 kernel on arm debian

Hi have now successfully built a 2.6.33 kernel on a linkstation pro
v2. This is an arm device. It is currently running debian  lenny
armel.

I compiled  (make) zImage, then did a make modules which failed on the
first two rounds of compiling the modules -

"fs/afs/super.c: In function ‘afs_test_super’:
fs/afs/super.c:278: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.3/README.Bugs> for instructions."
This was the error encountered on the attempt at compiling the
modules.

"crypto/gcm.c: In function ‘crypto_gcm_setauthsize’:
crypto/gcm.c:152: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.3/README.Bugs> for instructions.
make[1]: *** [crypto/gcm.o] Error 1"
This was the error the on the second attempt at compiling the modules.

The 3rd attempt at building the modules was successful...

The device boots and runs fine with this kernel and modules appear to work.

*SO* is this a gcc bug or is it related to the changes to the build
process on arm?
