Hm, I didn't know that restriction...

2.95.3 is still a bit of an unknown w.r.t. XFS at this point, although
some people have reported success.  Please let us know how it goes.  :)

The egcs-2.91.66 requirement is intentional, it's what we currently
recommend / require for XFS.
 
(Actually, this is still the recommended compiler for all 2.4.x kernels,
according to the LKML FAQ).

Not sure what to tell you about the other errors, perhaps someone else
will chime in...
