Either downgrade to a 3.x compiler or find out what code is optimized 
into breaking.  So far, it has always been some piece of questionable 
BSP or driver code that just happened to work with the older compilers.

gcc 4.x is much more agressive with optimization and it takes more 
perfectly valid optimization opportunities which can break code.
