    I had a weird crash with my gcc-3.4 kernel (no optimizations other then
    the standard -O), so we might have some issues there.
    I recommend just running with a standard 2.9x based kernel for now.  We
    don't officially support 3.4 kernels yet.
	Might I add, the P4 optimizations done by GCC-3.x are still a
	little shoddy, so it is better to keep away from them.  I have
	experienced data corruption with that option before.
	Althugh, -Os works for me (-O2 with space optimizations).
