I have also had no problems compiling various kernels (2.2.12 and above
in the 2.2.x series as well as the 2.3.x series) using 2.95.2.  Using
the current cvs'd compiler also works for the above kernels (I don't
check everything every day, but it has worked whenever I've tried it).

Of course, YMMV if you happen to be compiling something different that I
am in the kernel.
