Consider the inverse case, where you built the kernel with gcc3.3, but have mostly changed your userspace to 3.4, and don't really feel like rebuilding the whole kernel. I know that's bitten me more than once before. I don't object to the change. On 2.6 at least the kernel will refuse to load modules compiled with a different compiler version. - ajax
