I'm not sure if you received a reply to this, and I'm just catching up with my 
email.  This problem is a bug with the kernel sources.  GCC 4.1 is stricter in 
verifying const qualifiers on asm outputs.  This case is something like
	const int __gu_val;
	asm ("..." : "=r" (__gu_val) ...);
which is now correctly diagnosed.  (IIRC, actually it's inside a macro and uses 
__typeof__ in the form of '__typeof__(*FOO) __gu_val;' and FOO is a pointer to 
const qualified type.)

The 2.6 kernel sources have been patched (across the several architectures that 
had this problem).
