After upgrading to 2.8.0 on several machines, I came to the same conclusion. eg: if you manage to compile a kernel with gcc 2.8.0 the kernel is slightly broken. X11 will immediatly coredump after start other programs just go mad for no reason. Tested with 2.0.32/33 2.1.84. It seems, that the hacker-kernels are even more effected.
