All you do is install gcc272 (apt-get install gcc272). This
installs a binary called gcc272, which you then feed into the kernel's
Makefile (read: substitute gcc for gcc272). However, 2.95 seems to
compile kernels fine. I have used it for a couple of months for other
boxes, and it was fine. I have kernel problems now, but I don't think
they're due to the compiler...
