You need even older than that,
gcc 2.5.8 or newer, but not 2.6 or newer
Unfortunately, neither of these are still on the gnu mirrors (not on
esat anyway),
so you'll have to do some hunting to find them ( I have binaries, but
they're
linked against libc4.5 ) - from an old Slackware release (2.0) (designed
for
kernel 1.0) but you should be able to get it to work with 1.2
