I haven't seen it in 0.9.30, but then I'm using gcc 4.1 not 4.3.

The patch I used to fix it for 0.9.29 with 4.1 is attached.  (The gcc 
./configure step creates a "void main(void) {}" and compiles and runs it as a 
sanity test for the compiler, which segfaulted with stock uClibc 0.9.29 but 
works fine for me out of the box with 0.9.30.)
