Actually, you are mistaken here Yaron. It is a well know fact (both Linus
and Alan said so, and so did the gcc development team) that gcc 2.8.x has
problems compiling 2.0.3x kernels. There are a few problematic functions
that manifest this problem, like iopl() for example. 

As far as I know, there are no plans to fix it in 2.0.x kernels for now.
