So which is the recommended compiler for each kernel version 2.2.x, 2.4.x(pre?) nowadays? I've pretty much kept gcc 2.7.2.3 around just for compiling the kernel however now I hear you need egcs to compile 2.4? I don't mind keeping 2.7.2.3 around in its own installation directory just for the purpose of doing kernel work however from a previous post I've now got the impression that egcs has become the recommended compiler? If I'm going to keep a secondary compiler around (outside of gcc 2.95.2 which I still hear is no good for kernel compiles) just for kernel work I'd prefer to use my disk space on the recommended one.
