Compiling the kernel with non-GCC isn't really a good idea.  As Phil says,
a lot of the extensions are used.  In addition to this, a lot of the kernel
is tuned specifically to allow GCC to optimise effectively to produce
efficient code.

PS, this should really be on linux-arm-kernel.  See the web site for more
information.
