I compile my kernels with pgcc from over a year. And hadn't problems caused by the compiler (i mean >2.1.xx). The kernel will be slightly faster compared to gcc and not noticeable compared with egcs. The main advantage of pgcc is ability to make optimized code for other CPUs like K5, K6, Cyrix and may be for IDT chips. Here the difference can be significant.
