I can safely say I've forgotten more (everything TBH) about compiling 
kernels than some will ever know. I do have the distinct memory of when 
Red Hat Linux's homegrown gcc could not compile a kernel. I switched to 
SuSE after that episode. It only took about 20 years before I tried 
anything Red Hat related again.
