The kernel developers tell you which gcc to use.  They recommend 2.95.3,
apparently Debian is already pushing the envelope by using 2.95.4 ;-)

   - Make sure you have gcc 2.95.3 available.  gcc 2.91.66 (egcs-1.1.2)
     may also work but is not as safe, and *gcc 2.7.2.3 is no longer
     supported*.
