I just succeeded with gcc 3.3.2. Kernel -4 is now compiled with this
version. It's available from:
http://wwwcip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~simigern/jornada-7xx/linux-2.4.27-vrs1-pxa1-j720-4/
And it has a working framebuffer :-)
The initrd needs to be updated to initrd-2.4.27-3.3.2.gz

As toolchain I used the handhelds.org one:
ftp://ftp.handhelds.org/projects/toolchain/arm-linux-gcc-3.3.2.tar.bz2

If you try to build with gcc 3.3.2 be warned that make clean is
not enough when switching from a different compiler-version. You need
to do a make distclean (and save your .config before). If you don't do
this, the kernel will most likely hang after the "POSIX conformance
testing by Unifix" line.
