What he's saying here is that the stock gcc in 7.0 blows up on compiling
kernel 2.2.x, as it is gcc 2.96.  This same problem existed with the 2.0
kernels using egcs.  RH 7.0 provides an additional package, kgcc, which
is really egcs 1.1.2, so you can build 2.2.x kernels.  If you're building
2.4.x kernels, you can safely use gcc, I believe...
