In case this is pertinent: I have been using gcc 3.0.2 since its
inception to compile the kernel on various CPUs (Pentium II, Pentium
III, AMD Athelon, and also the experimental stuff for PA/RISC 2.0)
and have not had any trouble with it.   Seems to be fairly solid and
trouble free.  RH has to get its act together though ... The gcc 2.96
and a kgcc for the kernel was just too hilarious and rather sad at
the same time.

Cheers.
