There's always one "last bug" left. ;)

Not entirely a toolchain problem.  Here is a patch that fixes the
problem, if the toolchain happens to include the SuSE gcc 3.3.3
"Hammer" compiler.  Patch is against git tree on kernel.org.

This patch is clearly unacceptable, as it breaks real gcc 3.3
compilers.  But it would still be nice to have some sort of workaround
for the SuSE-created problem.
