Tools requirements to build a kernel have become a little bit confusing.
I'm sure there are more restrictions that I've forgot.

 * The Lemote 2F defconfig requires binutils 2.20 to build.
 * GCC 3.2 is a lost cause for building 64-bit kernels
 * GCC 3.3 is broken but can just about be kludged to build a 64-bit kernel.
 * GCC 4.4 or a patched older version is required to build a kernel O2 or
   Indigo² with R10000 processors.
 * GCC 3.2 used to work for the rest but it's a very long time since I
   tested this for a modern kernel.
 * Linux 2.6.29 and older need a GCC older than 4.4.0 to compile.
