Compiling 2.4 kernel

[Tom George]

I am using 2.2.12 and would like to compile a 2.4 kernel.  The release 
notes warn against compiling with gcc 2.95.2 which I currently have 
installed and recommend compiling with gcc 2.91.66 (egcs 1.1.2)  How do 
I best replace gcc 2.95.2 with gcc 2.91.66?

I have become fairly acquainted with using apt-get to download and 
install packages from the stable distribution.  Is there an 
egcs_1.1.2.deb somewhere?  Must I first purge gcc 2.95.2?
