AFAIK, the only difference between an athlon-specific kernel and an i686-specific kernel are the options in the compiler command line when compiling the kernel. Is gcc 3.0 binary compatible with the stupid redhat compiler? If it is, I would upgrade to that. I haven't, myself, because I simply don't know (and can't find any information one way or the other) if binaries from the two compilers are compatible. Someone who knows better, could you shed some light on the subject?
