Like a home machine that just sits there most of the time, and then gets
requested to build a kernel, or an egcs or glibc snapshot? ;-)
That's my case: i586/100 (UP mobo, no SMP), IDE only, egcs-1.1.1pre2,
glibc-2.0.102, binutils-2.9.1.0.15, -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -march=pentium
for kernel 2.1.129pre1 compile (and many others recently). Dialup net
connection via CSLIP here, a couple of times a day to download mail
etc. Hacked RedHat-5.0, modutils-2.1.121 + preferred patch from RH srpm +
fix for infinite loop in modinfo. rc files patched to not run kerneld.
Other similar machines at work are permanently connected to a local
ethernet (various NICs, mostly ne2k-pci) run quite recent kernels too, also
egcs-1.1b, binutils-2.9.1.0.15, glibc-2.1 snapshots. No problems I can
see...
