I think it's easier to prevent people from compiling their 2.0.x kernel with anything newer than 2.7.2.3 than fixing all kernel bugs which show up with gcc-2.8.x/egcs. Alans knows that it would be very hard to fix all bugs, as there showed up quite a lot in 2.1.xxx and were fixed there. Maybe he will accept a patchset which fixes most of them, but I think he will certainly not accept fixes for a single occurence of the bug.
