It seems that gcc-2.7.2.3 is terminally ill. I'd rather change Documentation/Changes, and just document the fact.
These kinds of subtle work-arounds for gcc bugs are not really acceptable, nor is it worthwhile complaining when somebody does development with a gcc that is _not_ broken, and doesn't notice that some random gcc bug breaks the kernel for others.
