We build with hc2 (.1s) and have found only one compiler related
problem in the kernel (this was in the Andrew File System code, which
you probably don't run).

I advise that you not mix compilers.  I don't know exactly what the
problem was, but I was able to reliably make a kernel built with a mix
of hc1 and hc2 crash hard (the only fix was CTRL-ALT-PAUSE or power).
