I make a point of not bashing egcs for good reasons. The 2.0.x kernel + egcs
stuff is _not_ generally egcs problems. I'm solely interested in shipping
a highly stable 2.0.x kernel tree. The warning trap for 2.0 + egcs now
points you to Florian's page. Does Florian have fixes for all the potential
stuff in there - the clobbers, the gcc/egcs bugs, the kernel volatile marking,
and for kernel bugs where somethign happens not to get re-ordered...

I don't know.
