Install the egcs packages (just egcs and egcs-cpp, no need for c++) and you will get a binary called kgcc (the old egcs-compat). Latest kernels are prepared to auto-detect you have that kgcc and use it. If not, edit the main kernel Makefile and change gcc to kgcc in the CC var. The HOSTCC var can still be just gcc; ie, the build tools like split-includes and so on work fine compiled with gcc-2.96, but the kernel itself is not guaranteed to be reliable if compiled with anything newer than egcs1.1.2 (gcc-2.91.66 i think). And gcc 2.7.3 can work for 2.2, but does not work for 2.4 series. So, use egcs-1.1.2 for kernel and 2.96 for your programming work. Hope this helps you.
