Well finaly I reach to continue only some test.
I so choose this simpler solution to build 32 kernel with gcc-3.0 first 
and it compiles well (it took about 15min excluded modules).
I launch it on my b2k and it seems to works fine (any boot pb); I so use 
it to rebuild te same kernel with gcc-3.3.
It also compiles well (in about 12min).
But I notice something strange: runing a top in another xterm, I notice 
that swap was well on but absolutly not used where usually my kernel 
(near about debian std cfg) used about 20Mb of swap (with 256Mb of ram).
Is it a wanted behaviour? (config option?)

Thanks,
    Joel

PS: I do not yet reboot with this last kernel (on Tuesday :-) )
