On ARM at least, gcc 3.2.x seems buggy. It's along the lines of this:

3.2.0: incorrect function argument offset calculation.
3.2.x: miscompiles NEW_AUX_ENT in fs/binfmt_elf.c
(http://gcc.gnu.org/PR8896) and incorrect structure
initialisation in fs/jffs2/erase.c

I suspect that the fs/jffs2/erase.c problem is not ARM-specific, though
I'm no compiler expert.

However, gcc 3.3 seems table on ARM, and I'm not aware of any problems
with any further 3.3.x releases.
