I know. He's been advised to forget compiling the kernel with that other
compiler numerous times on this list. He happily seems to ignore that
advice and try it anyway, so who am I to dissuade someone from a great
learning experience?

I'd assume that you can just use any old distribution (unless you broke
binary compatibility).
