Sigh. So I suddenly succeed in building cross gcc-3.3 that works correctly with
my simple test (for some reason it needed to disable dynamic libgcc build
before I was able to get at least something working). And now guess what?
I get "bad kernel unaligned access ..." message at the point where sda's partition
table would get normally printed. The first address printed is somewhere near end of
__make_request, the second address is prior to the kernel start, and two last numbers are
"22 31".
If I disable SCSI completely, it even boots and works which is of course a great
progress over what I had with gcc-2.95 (it boots off IDE anyway). ;)

I will try to get newer binutils on the box itself to see if it will make any
difference for the kernel built natively.

Bye,
