I think it has come down to the fact that its hard to tell where the fault
actually lies.  Since the kernel code has been shown to complie fine with gcc,
it can't be the kernel's fault.  Then again, with patches to the kernel, egcs
can complie it fine.  It would seem, even if egcs is to blame, it would be
easier to just patch the kernel and be done with it.  I can, however, see why
Linux and Alan would be against this, because then they are saying "Well,
even if you don't know how to write software, we'll fix that."
