linux-2.1.131ac6 + egcs-19981206: arch/i386/lib/checksum.c?

This is i586/100, egcs-19981206, glibc-2.0.105, binutils-2.9.1.0.17.
linux-2.1.131ac6 built beautifully here, but for arch/i386/lib/checksum.c:
It contains invalid asm() constraints. I managed to fix some of those, but
gave up (I know little ia32 assembler), in large part because the file is
plastered with comments telling that it will be rewritten soon. For now, I
put an extremely disgusting kludge into arch/i386/lib/Makefile that just
uses egcs-1.1.1 to compile this file (as it is almost pure assembler, it
shouldn't hurt much ;-). The resulting patchwork is what I'm running right
now.

Any kind soul has patches for this file? Or has a new version? It would be
quite a shame to have to carry gcc-2.7.2.3 for linux-2.0, egcs-1.1.1 for
linux-2.2 kernels, while using egcs-<current> for general work...

Thanks!
