These are all the versions I tried:
ii  gcc-2.95                  2.95.4-22                 The GNU C compiler
ii  gcc-3.2                   3.2.3-9                   The GNU C compiler
ii  gcc-3.3                   3.3.4-1                   The GNU C compiler
ii  gcc-3.4                   3.4.0-2                   The GNU C compiler

Out of these, only the kernel compiled with gcc-2.95 boots when using the -Os
option.
gcc-3.2 and gcc-3.3 work ok when using the -O2 option. I have not tried
that on gcc-3.4, but I expect that to work as far as this issue is concerned.

When I get some time I'll try turning on the flags one by one that -Os
turns off, e.g. -Os -falign-functions. Hope that will work as expected and
narrow down the problem.

Thanks,
Martin
