For what it's worth, I successfully compiled and
booted an sh4 kernel with (IIRC) gcc-3.3.1 and crosstool
(that was before gcc-3.3.2 came out).
Kaz helped me figure out the compiler options and patches needed,
and I carry the patches forward in newer versions of http://kegel.com/crosstool.

(I have to give back my sh4 hardware today, so I won't be doing
any more SH testing unless someone sends me a Linux-capable SH system...)
