gcc 2.95.1 is ready for everything.
Everything on my computers is currently compiled with gcc 2.95.1 [aside
from the FreeBSD box, adapting the FreeBSD kernel is more work than
adapting the Linux kernel].
The only problem with gcc 2.95.1 is that it doesn't understand the broken
asm() statements prior versions understood, and therefore it won't compile
the kernel out of the box.
I've been having LESS trouble with it that with any other compiler I ever
tried.
The kernels in cooker are compiled with it, as well, by the way - and we
haven't had bug reports that could be identified as compiler problems.
