must have been a very custom kernel, I cant remember 2.0.34. we had 2.0.33
for a long time, and next 2.0.36. Did I miss something?

And Andreas said today (not as a reply to that msg, but to the same topic):
I recently succeeded compiling 2.2.10 on my potato-box by using the
kernelsource form ftp.sunsite.auc.dk and applying some of the 2.95 fixes
found in the kernel-patch-2.2.10-m68k_*.deb package in potato. So it
_looks_ like it is possible to use gcc 2.95.
It has been running stable so far.
You did not read that, did you? No more comments, I would regret it...

hmm, if you think so...
