It's not apparent why that should make any difference - you need that
compiled in if you want to use a serial port as your system console (ie,
if you want your boot time messages and whatnot to go out a serial port)
- it shouldn't be needed if all you want to do is use minicom to chat to
some other device out a serial port.

gcc-2.95 is still the recommended compiler, for both 2.4 and 2.6
kernels. If nothing else, it'll give you a kernel 100KB smaller than a
gcc-3.3 kernel.
