Well 2.1.x seems to be ok with egcs, and egcs current + the assembler
patches Bernd and co have provided should be rock safe. Having said that
you don't want to use -O6 with the kernel. -O6 says "please go around and
inline things as you feel". The kernel authors have already done that and
made a better job of it than the compiler will
