Why didn't you take the latest and greatest version of each binutils and
gcc? The ARM backend in gcc 2.95.2 generates slightly better code.

This is a known problem: Linux 2.2.13 can't be compiled with a gcc 2.95.x.
If you want to use Linux 2.2.13, you'll have to stick with an older
compiler: gcc-2.8.1 or egcs-2.91.66. You can also use the experimental
Linux 2.3.35 which is quite stable. Linux-2.3.35 with patch-2.3.35-rmk1
and diff-2.3.35-rmk1-np6 works perfectly well on Brutus (and on LART and
FEATHER).
