Yes, but debian tends to build almost everything. For some reason,
I've turned off ipv6. Unlike many kernel bugs, this one is completely
reproducible.
I would say gcc-4.4.6 or a snapshot latter than 2010-12-22 is needed
for kernel builds. asm in delay slot patch is key patch. As this was
discussed on list, I'm a bit surprised that this wasn't picked up if
that's the problem.
I'm doing a build based on debian's config with my toolchain to see
if it has the same problem.
There may be a toolchain issue wrt CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER (frame pointer
optimization).
