Warning! from gcc-3.3 to gcc-3.4 the handling of the attribute 'unused' changed. For that reason, compiling a linux-2.4 kernel with gcc-3.4 will break silently!
Euhm. I've been doing this for 5 months without any problem for PPC.
I had a quick
grep -rs attrib | grep unused | grep -v Binary
On my Kernel source tree... and assuming that unused is indeed incorrectly handled... or rather differently handled, between 3.3.x and 3.4.x ... you probably wouldn't notice the difference, unless you were using SCSI, or the 8390 driver on powerpc.
