Let me quote Russel King, the Linux ARM kernel developer:
http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/pipermail/linux-arm/2004-January/006799.html

"We should've looked at this earlier.  gcc 3.2.* is buggy, please don't
use it.

The only gcc 3 versions which appear to work correctly on ARM is the
gcc 3.3 branch.  Please throw away any earlier gcc 3 compiler."

as this is an often occuring question, could you give a more up to date
version of gcc (3.3.x, 3.4.0) a try and report back if that solves the
problems?

cheers,
