So the urban legend goes that gcc-3.2 compiled kernels may infact
produce mildly incorrect results in the networking code.

I have yet to verify this, and JDA seems to indicate that he has working
kernels with gcc-3.2. While I've only recently tested gcc-3.0.x and
gcc-3.1.x based compiles.

I don't like urban legends >:} *Added item to Chrismas todo list*
