I know, but egcs is still the recommended compiler for Kernel
2.4:

"COMPILING the kernel:

- Make sure you have gcc-2.91.66 (egcs-1.1.2) available. gcc 2.95.2 may
  also work but is not as safe, and *gcc 2.7.2.3 is no longer supported*."

and rescue disks (to save space).

What I want to know is what's the recommended (or most
stable) release of egcs. 1.1.2 (egcs_1_1_2_release) or
egcs_ss_19990913 (egcs_latest_snapshot), or any other
snapshot.

If 1.1.2, are that any problems fixed by patches ?

And if it's OK to compile egcs with GNU C Library 2.2.4. Or
it generates wrong code. I only need the C part.
