Do you mean egcs64 from stable?
Does it raise issues to use a potato compiler to compile the kernel
for a slink update? I guess the kernel is pretty stand-alone, so it
would technically work, but I don't like it due to the boot-strapping
issues (i.e., how would a Sun4u user recompile their kernel on a slink
box?).
