It worked great for me.  Perhaps you didn't install the elf patch
also.  Get the sources for 1.2.13.  Install the patch
ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC/linux-1.2.11.elf.diff.gz
and the patch at then end of this email.

When you install the first patch from tsx, you'll get many messages of
the form, 'previously applied patch?  Assume [-R]?' and 'Apply
anyway?'  Say no to all of them.  Some of the patches in the elf diff
made their way into 1.2.13; the rest are inconsequential.

Finally compile it with an elf GCC.  You'll need the patch at the end
of this email to compile it with gcc 2.7.2.

I've just been grabbing the kernel sources from sunsite and compiling
them myself.  The only debianization necessary, afaik, is:

Here's the patch so you can compile under gcc 2.7.2.  If you're using
2.7.0, you don't have to bother.
