tejun, it seems you hit an interesting point.
i compiled kernel-2.6.31.3 with my ususal config _without_ i2c_i801.
my usual test (compilation of gcc-4.3.2) finished 5 times without the error.
i'll let it run some more times over night.
does anybody have an idea how i can trace what exactly causes the error 
during the compilation run so that i can create a short test program ?

regards
-alex
