Do not use egcs to compile the kernel or any kernel module for
any other release but the 4.0-CURRENT tree. It will not work.
It may appear to work, but will eventually fail. Getting it to
work correctly in the 4.0-CURRENT tree was a nontrivial exercise.
OTOH, I use egcs from the port to compile most third party
software. (My path puts /usr/local/bin/{gcc,...} before any of
the system-furnished compilers).
