What if??? 
Lets just say... your running 0.95a with old gcc and stuff
and you get the new gcc and code for the new kernel(96bpl2).
Now you install the new compiler which will only produce 
binaries for the new kernel.  You unpack the kernel and build
away!!!!  But in the making you see, 
gcc ... tools/build.c -o tools/build ...
then
tools/buils boot/bootsect ... > Image

BUT this doesn't work, because the build binary won't run under
the old kernel.  Now is this just a flaw in my logic or should
this be taken into consideration when releasing a new gcc.

This wouldn't be a prob if I could find an image for 0.96bpl2
but there are none to be found.  What should a person do.  Re-install
gcc2.11c and make that binary and switch back????

Hmmm.
