Just in case this information could be of any help:

I compiled 2.6.30.2 but reverting that commit
(a137802ee839ace40079bebde24cfb416f73208a, “Dont use -fwrapv compiler
option: its buggy in gcc-4.1.x”); on my sid box (with that supposedly
bad version of binutils), the box did not boot (same behaviour: reboot
just after lilo).

I also compiled 2.6.27.27 (it has that very same commit) on 3 different
servers at work (debian stable there). All of them booted without any
problem.

All of my boxes seem to be ok, but if I can do any additional test to
help, please let me know.

Thanks!
