Yes, it _should_, but that isn't always the case. The "official" version
of gcc for compiling kernels is still 2.7.2.3.
The general rule is to compile the kernel with (a _new_ version of)
egcs, and if you get problems, recompile with 2.7.2.3 before you
complain about it. (That way, you know what to complain about.)
IIRC, 2.2.9 had a few issues with recent egcs developments that were
fixed in 2.2.10.
