It is just as I said, the kernel-developers and the people at gnu say that
compiling the kernel with anything else as gcc-2.7.2.3 could be fatal stability.
Just try it out and use a kernel compiled with gcc-2.95.2.
Then produce some heavy processor load and watch the output of xosview!
Then use a kernel compiled with gcc-2.7.2.3 and compare!
You will see significant differences SYS cpu load and interrupt handling...
