That's 'officially' true but ...
Unofficially, patches that remove errors with pgcc, egcs (at least) are
generally accepted.
As a result, most of us expect the kernel to function correctly when compiled
with pgcc / egcs.
I compiled (almost) every kernel (2.034-2.036,and (2.1.120-2.2.1) on a couple
of machines (one PII one K6) without any trouble. Well, once when I went to
the ensoniq audio PCI there was a problem, but the author fixed it on my
suggestion.
The only package I've ever had a problem with is bzip2, and I understand that
problem is fixed.
