I am running kernel 2.2.12 and downloaded release 2.4.  The accompanying 
instructions strongly recommends compiling the new kernel with 
gcc-2.91.66 (egcs-1.1.2).  I downloaded

                  egcs-1.1.2-alpha.tar.bz2
                  egcs-1.1.2-doc.tar.bz23
                  egcs-1.1.2-glibc.x86.tar.bz2
                  egcs-1.1.2-libc5.x86.tar.bz2

The instructions I found (somewhere) said put these in the root 
directory and unpack them.  I did.  Now dpkg -l still shows gcc-2.95 
installed and gcc --version reports cannot execute binary file.

Should I have purged gcc-2.95?  Is there any way to recover from what I 
have done?
