I noticed the same problem that Richard Gooch had:
time.c: In function `do_gettimeofday': time.c:262: fixed or forbidden register was spilled. This may be due to a compiler bug or to impossible asm statements or clauses.
I noticed my build and -D__SMP__ due to a configuration error on my part. When I re-configured without SMP the compile was successful with 2.3.30-pre6 and 2.3.30 (official)
I to am using an 'older' gcc dd:dcd$ gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.1/specs gcc version 2.7.2.1
I realize that 2.7.2.1 is not up to 2.7.2.3 that is documented in Documentation/Changes

PS. this isn't the first time that enabling/disabling SMP has caused compile problems. Last time this occured was with a structure that became zero size when SMP was DISabled, and then the workaround was to enable SMP :-). Now it seems that I can't enable SMP with this compiler.
What compiler is Linus using?
