I happen to think this is a compiler issue, not the source code.  In
windows world, there's are probably MSVC, MinGW and that's about it.
I assume that they generate pretty much the same code, for C at least
(e.g, alignment rules had not changed for a while).
In Linux/Unix, there's just so many differences in code that GCC 2.7.x,
2.9.x and 3.x generate (again, data alignment in structures comes
first in mind) that you probably had to compile q2-icculus with 2.7.3
(or whatever was used for mods) for your old mods to work again.
