Not sure if this is an issue:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/5/207

If I understood this correctly perhaps some userspace tools sending 
signalsto kernel could be messed up if kernel is rebuild with gcc 4.3 on 
x86_64.
In:

Is a patch
 Either backport it to 2.6.24.x or don't rebuild before 2.6.25, I think.
