Last I head egcs couldn't build a kernel without introducing fatal flaws into it.

You wouldn't gain too much in savings, since I think gcc is just these four files: -r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 1056768 Mar 24 17:52 /usr/libexec/cc1* -r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 1114112 Mar 24 17:52 /usr/libexec/cc1obj* -r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 1376256 Mar 24 17:52 /usr/libexec/cc1plus* -r-xr-xr-x 2 bin bin 49152 Mar 24 17:52 gcc* Obviously you have to keep the libraries and include files.
