Try running "dpkg -l|grep gcc", and make sure that you have gcc installed
instead of/in addition to egcc.  If memory serves, there are problems
related to compiling the 2.0.x kernels with egcc, and so they have
#error directives set up in order to disallow it.

After installing gcc (assuming that it's not installed at all), you may
need to do something like "export CC=/usr/bin/gcc" prior to building
the kernel.
