My reason's for wanting gcc-2.8.1 also lie along these lines, as we are
using a cross development environment at work that is complex and utilizes
a mix of gcc-2.8.1 front end and back-end linker/assembler from WRS,
targeting arm-wrs-vxworks.  It works quite well, and we have no problems
with the compiler so far.
