I am not a kernel expert. I do not build my own kernels. I can not tell you
which compiler versions are best for compiling which kernel versions.

However, in general, I recommend the most recent toolchain snapshot available
at ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/ia64-linux. These toolchains assume glibc 2.2.
Unfortunately, sigh, there aren't any glibc 2.2 based OS releases yet, but
this shouldn't matter if you are just building kernels.
