The use of v2.95.1 for compiling v2.2.x kernel is officially frowned 
upon due to miscompilation of some kernel code.  Unless you're 
building development kernels, stay with v1.1.2.

BTW, rumor has it that egcs v2.95.2 will soon be released.  That might
be a reason for holding off on any compiler decisions for a little
while.
