kgcc is the compiler to build the kernel. it's an extra package. When i
compile 2.2.* kernels i use:

CC="kgcc" make bzImage

2.4.0-test* kernels I am building with the gcc in RH7 (gcc 2.96).
Does anybody know, if this is a bad idea? Because the kernels builds and
boots, but doesn't seem to be that stable. Is this rather because _it is_
an unstable kernel, or because of the compiler?
