The Linux kernel has a fair amount of gcc hacks. gcc 2.9.6-69 is the _wrong_
compiler for building kernels. At best you might not notice anything
out of order, at worst you will run headlong into one of the gcc-specific
or gcc version-specific hacks, and discover just how badly 2.4 might with
the so-called gcc-2.9.6 (cvs snapshot).

For production 2.2 and 2.4, use ecgs-1.1.2 (gcc 2.91.66).

(BTW, this has been an ongoing discussion at linux-kernel list)
