I think, in general, it's best to stick with 2.95 compilers for the
kernel. There are exceptions, but the easiest route is to use gcc-2.95
for compiling kernel source. You can do this by editing the
kernel-source-2.4.20/Makefile and setting HOSTCC=gcc-2.95 and
CC=$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc-2.95. If you have external modules you're
building then you'll also want to add CC=gcc-2.95 to the
environment. Like:
CC=gcc-2.95 make-kpkg --revision foo.1 --bzimage kernel_image
and then
CC=gcc-2.95 make-kpkg --revision foo.1 --bzimage modules_image
