export HOSTCC=gcc-3.0 ; export CC=gcc-3.0 ; HOSTCC=gcc-3.0 CC=gcc-3.0 make-kpkg --revision 2.4.19.zarya.1 kernel_image

...plus manually editing the top Makefile for the same variables has finally
resulted in 3.0 being used for everything and produced a good kernel; there was
no single warning about unresolved symbols for some deflate (i.e. zlib-related)
function in a kernel module either.

I'll try 3.2 and 3.3pre5 later this week and tell you how it goes with them.
