We've seen this on other platforms with gcc 3.4 as well.  I think
the best fix would be replace the problematic construct
  supply_gregset (regcache, (const gdb_gregset_t *) &gregset);
with

 gdb_gregset_t *gregset_p = &gregset;

 supply_gregset (regcache, (const gdb_gregset_t *) gregset_p);

That seemed to fix the problems e.g. in i386-linux-nat.c (fetch_regs).
