I can *not* confirm this. Just some days ago, I compiled
hardened-sources-2.6.24 (which uses genpatches-2.6.24-5;
current gentoo-sources uses genpatches-2.6.24-6, but the
difference is obviously not important here [it involves
just an #include for some exotic hardwar]).

Result: Compiles fine with gcc-4.3 on x86 but dies immediately
at boot (before printing anything) unless acpi=off is used.
(And just to be sure, I disabled every acpi feature except
"general" acpi support - same result).

It is certainly a compiler problem, because with gcc-4.2
exactly the same kernel configuration (and even on amd64
with gcc-4.3 and analogous configuration) has no problem.
