Not for egcs-1.1.2, out any day now. The new SGI STL will be included in a
future egcs release, possibly in 1.2.

You're very correct that it is very useful, and it is mandated by the 
standard. However, the egcs team has to be very careful when adding new
features to minor releases of the compilers so as not to break existing
code. 

Please send followup to egcs discussion list -- egcs@egcs.cygnus.com.
