You did replace the arch/i386/kernel/ioport.c ? You will always segfault
on applications writing to IO ports if you don't.
My kernel is a 2.0.33 with the 2.1.7X ioport.c and a small patch to avoid
the warnings in include/asm-i386/string.h (replaced the 3: by
default:) compiled by egcs-980115 and it's running fine.

If you want to be sure to have everything working, use 2.7.2.X.

I also had this, but KDE Beta3 compiled by egcs-980205 is fine. There's
one bug in the distribution (kdegames) though which is found by egcs but
can be easily corrected.

Yes.
