Hi !
When I try to compile the latest kernel with 3.0.4, I get a parse error:
In file included from include/asm/suspend.h:7,
from include/linux/suspend.h:5,
from arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.c:11:
include/asm/i387.h:55: warning: `always_inline' attribute directive ignored
include/asm/i387.h: In function `__save_init_fpu':
include/asm/i387.h:58: parse error before '[' token
include/asm/i387.h:68: parse error before '[' token
include/asm/i387.h: At top level:
include/asm/i387.h:96: warning: `always_inline' attribute directive ignored
With gcc 2.95.4, I get a "compiler too old" errors, and the same parsing
error... so, gcc 3.0.4 (Debian Woody) will be also in the compiler blacklist,
or can it be fixed ?
Cheers,

If you had bothered to read Documentation/Changes then you would have
seen that the current minimal required gcc version is 3.2 :

Current Minimal Requirements
============================
Upgrade to at *least* these software revisions before thinking you've
encountered a bug! If you're unsure what version you're currently
running, the suggested command should tell you.

o Gnu C 3.2 # gcc --version

Ok sorry, I didn't see the change between 2.6.15 and 2.6.16.
Maybe a test should be added in linux/compiler-gcc3.h, to have the same
warning as with gcc 2.xx ?

Untested, but something like this should do it.
The kernel doesn't compile with GCC <3.2, do not allow it to succeed if GCC
3.0.x or 3.1.x are used.
