If your machine needs a egcs compiled kernel, you have to stuck with kernel 2.2.18 (I don't know why, but this is the last 2.2 kernel which works stable for me on SPARC, later one don't do so). egcs is not able to compile a working 2.4.19+ kernel for sparc32. Currently, the only compiler which works for me is gcc 2.95.3. But I have running the kernel now on 7 32bit SPARCs (all I currently have) without any problems.

I don't think that anybody is working in this area.
