and this toolchain I have been told will not compile the kernel - see linux-mips.org where they use (a very old) egcs 1.1.2.The reason for the use of egcs 1.1.2 is not the incapability of newer compilers. The MIPS kernel maintainer prefers it due to higher compilation speed, and works around its bugs.
Why doesn't someone fix the newer compilers then instead of using something so old as egcs 1.1.2?
