This is probably just me being paranoid, but it might be worth trying
using a gcc 4.4.x compiler and see if that makes any difference.
There have been some other gcc 4.5-caused probablems with the kernel,
and it might be a good idea to rule those out.  (I'm using gcc 4.4.3,
myself, and I'm deliberately avoiding the use of gcc 4.5 for now.)
