I've seen such an error too. I don't think this is gcc-2.95 bug, since
gcc-3.3 and gcc-3.4 fail with the same error message.
This is binutils (version 2.16.1cvs20050902-1 and newer) bug (feature?).
With binutils from testing (version 2.16.1-2) it is possible to compile
the kernel with any gcc version (2.95, 3.3, 3.4).
