Well. The problem is platform independent. The ARM people should really
test egcs 1.1.1/Linux. I have been waiting for their feedbacks. Again,
the patch for egcs 1.1.1/Linux is at

ftp://ftp.yggdrasil.com/private/hjl/egcs/1.1.1/egcs-1.1.1-19990115-linux.diff.gz

Please ask them to give it a try.

This is the Linux/x86/alpha binary release of egcs 1.1.1 19990115/Linux.
egcs is an integrated GNU compiler system. It is derived from gcc with
many enhancements. The current egcs contains C, C++, Object C and f77
compilers plus their runtime libraries. It is highly recommended on
Linux as the default C/C++ compiler system. For details about egcs
and its source code, please consult its web page at

http://egcs.cygnus.com

Changes from egcs 1.1.1:

1. Support Linux/ARM.
2. Support Linux/MIPS.
3. Fix some ELF/Sparc bugs.
4. Library interface patch.
5. A PPro conditional move bug fix.
6. Support fcomi/fucomi on PPro.
7. Don't include C++ exception code if not needed.
8. Don't export libgcc internal C functions in shared libraries.
9. Enable auto_ptr in libstdc++.

The egcs 1.1.1 linux/x86/alpha binary release can be found at

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/gcc
ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/GCC

The bzip2 linux/x86 binaries are provided for libc 5 and glibc 2. They
are bzip2-libc5.gz and bzip2-glibc.gz in the same ftp directory.
