I just got my IBM/4.3 source distribution, and I'd like to draw on the
experience of others who have rebuilt kernels from source.  Is it `safe'
to use hc - I think my version is 2.1o - to compile the 4.3 kernel? 
I've seen hc generate bad code, generate incorrect code, and generate
code the assembler will reject.  I don't really want to use PCC because
of it's total lack of optimization, but I will if I have to.

Thanks in advance.
