You can compile teh 2.0.2x+ kernels but not with egcs 1.0.3 (1.0.2 and 1.1+ will work fine) as the optimzations that 1.0.3 did/does did not agree with some assembler code in the kernel. Or similar. At any rate, you can compile a 2.0.xx kernel with egcs 1.1 or later (a, b, and also pgcc 1.1a)
The only drawback i sthat egcs will throw a great deal of warnings, but, this could be fixed with some cleanup, then again it would be expensive just to clean up warnings...
