GCC 3 allows empty structures, GCC 2 doesn't, therefore spinlock_t and rwlock_t have different size in GCC 2/3-compiled kernels. Binary modules therefore need recompiling, although it may work by pure luck or extremely deffensive interface layer design. I don't know of other issues directly related to GCC version, but that doesn't mean there aren't any.
