You are NOT supposed to build 2.2 with never versions of egcs then 1.1.2.
Just like youare NOT supposed to build 2.0 with anything never then gcc 2.7.2
Why ? Ok. Linux kernel stress gcc VERY much so it's not uncommon to have
breakage with new versions of gcc. So basically THE WHOLE stable series should
be compiled with latest compiler available when stable series started
(2.4 should be compiled with gcc 2.96 but NOT gcc 3.0 :-)
