  If I try to run GCC 2.7.X it won't run because the GCC executable is
compiled in ELF format, and my kernel is an "a.out" kernel with no ELF 
support.  So I won't I need an a.out compiled verion of GCC 2.7.X?  I've
looked everywhere and I can't find it.  I've thought about recompiling
GCC, but that didn't work.  I've thought of getting just one of the
ready made "elf" kernels, and compile the 2.0 kernel using gcc2.7.X to
compile it.  Or I probably will just dump it all and install debian.
What am I missing about ELF and a.out.  I thought it was just a different
head information for executables.
