Don't use the gcc 3.0.x that came with Red Hat Linux 7.x.  It isn't a
production compiler, and it is known to be unsafe for kernel compiles.
If you want to compile recent IA-64 kernels, you have to use gcc 3.1.
You can download sources from the FSF and build them yourself.  Or you
can try using a tarball that David Mosberger created.  It can be found at:
        ftp://ftp.hpl.hp.com/pub/linux-ia64/gcc-3.1.tar.gz
