As far as I can tell, the 2.6.21 kernel from 64 Studio 2.0/2.1 was
compiled with gcc 4.1:

~ $ cat /proc/version 
Linux version 2.6.21-1-multimedia-486 (Debian 2.6.21-2) (waldi at debian.org) (gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)) #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Fri Jun 22 19:13:23 UTC 2007

It would be interesting to see if the problem occurs with other
modules as well.

Ciao!
