I seem to remember that Martin said the gcc folks agreed that this
behavior was a bug on their part.  I tried building Python on Linux
with gcc 3.1 several months ago and had the same problems.  I dropped
back to 2.96 and haven't looked back. :)

Search around in python-dev for a discussion on this, but
unfortunately I don't remember the exact time frame.
