Subject: [PATCH 1/1] fix for arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S

Hi,


The attached patch resolves the warning message below when compiling the
kernel.  Also attached is a minimalistic config file that reliably
triggers the warning.

Kernel versions 2.6.27 (from Linus's tarball) and 2.6.27.1 (from Greg KH's
git tree) are both affected.

Gentoo Linux x86 (32bit)
GCC version is 4.3.2
Processor is Petium III (Katmai), 550MHz, 512KB Cache.
RAM is 512MB
