[X fails with gcc 2.8.1 compiled 2.0.x kernel]
Linux 2.0.x kernels rely on knowledge of the compiler's method optimisation
that is only valid for gcc 2.7.x, so you should use only a 2.7.x version to
compile them; this is why Debian 2.0 ships with gcc 2.7.2.3 as the default
compiler for C code.
If you need a newer gcc version for compiling other code, use the "egcc"
package.
