quote from the egcs site (http://egcs.cygnus.com)
egcs is an experimental step in the development of GCC, the GNU C
compiler.
Six years ago, gcc version 1 had reached a point of stability. For the
targets it could support, it worked well. It had limitations inherent
in its design that would be difficult to resolve, so a major effort
was made and gcc version 2 was the result. When we had gcc2 in a
useful state, development efforts on gcc1 stopped and we all
concentrated on making gcc2 better than gcc1 could ever be. This is
the kind of step forward we want to make with egcs.
there's a FAQ on the server,i hope it provides some help..i applied the
patches you send me but it still bombs out on me..
