Actually, I think the instructions should be something like (abbreviated):

	* Use build.sh to build new tools

	* Use new tools to build new kernel

	* Back up old kernel

	* Install new kernel

	* Boot new kernel

	* Rebuild the rest of the system

Right now, it's the older compiler that's tripping people up because
the old compiler had bugs that the kernel sources worked around.  The
newer compiler doesn't have the bugs, the kernel sources have been
updated to remove the work-arounds, and the old compiler is exposed.
