I tried to visit pctel.org, www.pctel.org, and 
ftp.pctel.org, but the connection was refused each time.  
Therefore, I'm kind of answering in the dark here.

One option is to compile *just* the kernel (and kernel 
modules) with the exact compiler that they are looking for.  
Everything else would still work if compiled using the new 
compiler.
