can/should we use gcc 3.1 to compile kernels

[Kevin B. Hendricks]

Hi,

FYI: I counted 1175 occurences of warnings like the following:

inode.c:2462: warning: concatenation of string literals with __FUNCTION__
is deprecated

So I hope someone has a nice sed or awk script to fix all of these in some
automatic way.
