I'm running gcc 2.95.2-compiled kernels all the time without problems.
I haven't checked 2.2.14pre lately (I'm more into 2.3.x ;) ), so I don't
know if you still need to apply patches to fix broken asm() constructs.

I've put up a patch for kernel 2.2.13 (which still needed it) at
http://people.redhat.com/gcc295/ - if 2.2.14pre hasn't been fixed, I'd
tend to assume the patch will work with little or no modifications.

2.95.2 doesn't use strict aliasing (-fstrict-aliasing) by default, which
fixed most of the "problems" with 2.95 and 2.95.1. If you want to
experiment with it (clean source can handle it), use -fstrict-aliasing in
addition to your normal CFLAGS.
