For i386

2.2.18
    gcc 2.7.2 or egcs-1.1.2
    gcc 2.95 and current Red Hat 2.96 both seem to generate valid kernels
        but are not recommended (insufficient testing)

2.4.0test
    egcs-1.1.2
    (gcc 2.95 miscompiles some of the long long uses)
    Red Hat's 2.96 seems to generate valid kernels but don't expect
        sympathy if you report a bug in one built that way
