I don't think this is going to change, since the bugs are in the kernel, not the compiler (it relies on undocumented behaviour of GCC-2.7.x) -- except that the 2.0 kernels will fade out, as 2.2 spreads, which is safe to compile with newer GCC versions and EGCS, AFAIK.
As a workaround, there exist patches for the 2.0 kernels to compile it with a recent egcs version.
