I'll second that.  After jumping through a lot of hoops, I finally have
my entire system recompiled with gcc-2.3.3 and have it as the default
compiler.  Any chance of rolling the necessary kernel and library patches
into the patchkit?  Maybe as a 5000+ optional patch?  Some of the diffs
I found on agate needed to be installed by hand because of conflicts
with the patchkit.  Every time I install new patches I have to make
sure I am not breaking the gcc-2.3.3 patches.
