binutils       2.16.1-2
gcc-3.3        4:3.3.5-3
libc6          2.3.2.ds1-22

Yes I used a fresh extrated tarball from kernel-source-2.6.8 (version
2.6.8-16) and the command for build it was:

make bzImage modules modules_install

I got a new machine, so I installed all packages from
http://amd64.debian.net/debian-pure64/ testing

does the /usr/bin/gcc symlink point to
> gcc-3.3 and did you use gcc-3.3 or gcc-3.4 to compile the kernel image?

/usr/bin/gcc points to /usr/bin/gcc-3.3 and it was the only cc compiler
installed on my machine. Afterwards I installed gcc-3.4 and gcc-4.0 to
make a probe, with the same resutls.
