I plan on making a gcc-2.95.3 version as well.  As for kernel
version -- the kernel headers are almost 100% irrelevant -- they
just need to be there to supply some header files (they stuff we
need isn't going to be changing during a stable kernel series).

Hmm.  no, you shouldn't need to do that.

Yup.

I made a few updates to the toolchain last night (I now use the
latest from CVS for example).  I hope to finish it up today.  If
you can show me some examples of where it fails or anything I am
doing wrong, I'd be glad to fix things,
