Subject: what version of gcc can be used to build kernels on Linux/sparc64?

I would like to know what version of gcc is currently available to build
linux kernels on Linux/Sparc64. I would like the builds to generate
64-bit executables.

Just use egc64 if its only for the kernel, or if you want to for the
kernel and some packages use gcc3

I should have asked more specifically. But I am trying to compile
user-mode-linux on Ultrasparc(running Debian). egcs64 compiles just
kernelspace code. I want to know what compiler can be used to build
user-mode-linux(which contains some userspace and some kernelspace code)
64-bit on Ultrasparc? gcc-3.0 seems to give problems with linker. I am
not sure if any other version of gcc is capable of doing that.

Thanks in advance

Have you get the chance to try it with gcc-3.1? anyways gcc-3.2 was
scheduled to be released on 2002-07-2x so it should be released at any
moment, and the linker problems should be solved

Problems:

egcs64: fails to compile 2.5 for me, because it doesn't support the
current syntax
gcc3.1: 1 unexpected failure is not too bad, but 25 unexpected successes
aren't too encouraging...
