Another dead horse to beat upon (building 2.0.28 with egcs)

For bizarre and complex application-related reasons, one of my clients
has reached a point where they need to start building their modified
kernel with a less-buggy compiler than 2.7.2. We cannot change to a
2.1.x kernel, for size and customization reasons (this kernel has 3
months of tcp customization in it to support transparent proxies as well
as cleanups of tcp buglets), and I know that the 2.0.2x kernels Just
Won't Work with egcs, so we'll have to fix it. (This is not a problem,
because I'm about to start doing kernel hacks to put UDI into this
kernel anyway.)
The question is: can anyone give me pointers to places where egcs works
properly[1] but 2.7.2 doesn't[2], so I can narrow down the range of
unpleasant surprises during the urban renewal process?
