2.0.x is a no-go with gcc 2.8.x and egcs/pgcc. This is not because of a
bug in the compiler or kernel, it's simply because the optimizer improved
to the point where it can optimize away some wait-loops used in 2.0.
2.1.122 seems rock-solid when compiled with egcs-1.1b, -O6 and -mcpu=i686.
I've been running this kernel since it came out, on a pretty heavily loaded
system. Seems ok.
