OK... I still find an "illegal instruction" error to be an odd result
for toolchain problems.  This to me seems more like the compiler spitting
out bad opcodes or the kernel not being compatible with the optimizations.

It seems that building kernels with GNU C is a touchy enterprise at times.
It sure is in the Linux world, though it's historically been a bit more
tied to the GNU compilers.
