_You_ can switch to egcs, but I ran into the same problem yesterday after
setting up a new 1.3.3 machine, and getting it a -current kernel failed
because of that. Not nice.

I worked around this by adding a -D__extension__= to the kernel Makefile,
but I don't think this is really an option. Maybe better check for the GCC
version with some macros, and only include that __extension__ thing if the
compiler actually understands it.
