I've had trouble compiling 2.4.18 & XFS with anything less than 3.0.4
(ie 2.96), so I finally risked the switch. I've used 3.0.4 (XFS 1.0x)
and now 3.1 (XFS 1.1) with no troubles on our main servers (RH 7.2
w/LVM) and on my laptop. Small set thats probably meaningless, I know,
but so far, I'm very happy with it. But as always - YMMV

I note that the XFS patches suggest using egcs 2.91.66 to build
the kernel. However, some new distributions (like Slackware) don't
even ship with that compiler any more. While it's easy enough to get,
I believe the kernel is supposed to be stable on later releases now.
What are your feelings on using other versions of gcc for XFS builds?
What about GCC 3.1.latest?
