BUT -- (from the EGCS FAQ)
If you have tried to build a 2.0.xx kernel for Intel machines with
EGCS, then you are on your own. The 2.0.xx kernels are to be built
only with gcc-2.7.2. They use certain asm constructs which are
incorrect, but (by accident) happen to work with gcc-2.7.2. If you
insist on building 2.0.xx kernels with egcs, you may be interested in
this [70]patch which fixes some of the asm problems. You will also
want to change asm constructs to [71]avoid clobbering their input
operands.
