Well, gcc 2.7.2 is "compiler non-grata" for the kernel these days:

	http://kt.linuxcare.com/kernel-traffic/kt20000724_77.epl#9

	"In the course of discussion, Linus Torvalds mentioned that
	he used 'gcc-2.91.66', and that 'gcc-2.7.2' was "compiler
	non-grata". Richard Gooch replied, "Aha! Now I know what 
	compiler you're using. Is there general agreement in the cabal
	that gcc-2.91.66 is Good[tm]?" Alan Cox and Randy Dunlap 
	confirmed this, and the thread ended."
