I tried this with 2.x and gcc-2.8.1, but was never successful - I never managed to stop it building the base compiler and not complain that it hadn't built the base compiler. I didn't spend much effort on it. > The kernel code is a slightly different matter. I get the >following errors: FWIW, I've had very few problems building 2.x kernels using gcc-2.8.1. (I did find some problems and have previously described fixes or work- arounds for them all). I haven't yet built an ELF gcc or EGCS, so I'm not sure whether there are problems with -current. If the compiler is reporting "insn does not satisfy its constraints", then it's probably a compiler bug.
