I can confirm this problem on 2.2.6-stable; it is not possible to link a kernel
with the -stable gcc-2.8.1 port. It complains about some missing functions
that seem to be necessary for handling quadwords (__qdiv? - has been some
time, I'm not sure any more). The wierd thing is that you can compile and
link the -current kernel without any problems using the -current 2.8.1 port.
