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.
