Hmmm, that sounds like a pretty shonky arrangement. On Debian,
we do have both gcc and egcs for libc6 development. Mostly we use
gcc, but some packages use egcs. There's no problem with gcc on
libc6 on i386. (It doesn't work very well on some other machines though.)
But no, egcs can't compile the 2.0 kernel. It can do the 2.2 kernel
though, I heard. I haven't tried it.
Weird.
