Hmm... I just tried biult 2.4.19 with the ext3 patch on my UP P3 machine, using GCC 3.2, and I wasn't able to replicate your problem. (This was using Debian's gcc 3.2.1-0pre2 release from testing.)
What was the precise GCC 3.2 version you were using, and for what architecture were you compiling for? As I recall P3 kernels should run on Athlons, if memory serves me correctly. (I don't have any Athlons at home, so if it's an Athlon-specific code generation bug, I'll have problems replicating it.) Could you try compiling a kernel for the P3 architecture using GCC 3.2, and see whether or not the problem is there? This is just a shot in the dark, but.... - Ted
