The compiler on this P120 is indeed gcc-3.4. However, building any kernel on that machine is now so excruciatingly painful that I am considering using a newer, beefier machine as a build machine instead. That machine is running FC5, and so uses gcc-4.1. So from my perspective, being able to build a 2.4 kernel using gcc-4.x would be a benefit.
