I just learned this, too. Yes, you are right. I need a vacation :)
The Makefile of the SuSE kernel does this by default.

And guess what, I didn't even notice, that I was using egcs when
compiling my latest kernel (plain vanilla from kernel.org):

<4>Linux version 2.2.1 (root@Wiles) (gcc version egcs-2.91.60 19981201

OK, this is just my workstation, but it seems to work pretty well, even
under heavy load.

Bye,
