You can use gcc 2.7.2 and egcs and gcc 2.8.1 together on the same
system with simple command line switches (e.g. gcc -V gcc-2.7.2.3) or
by installing them in separate paths (CC=/opt/egcs/bin/gcc works fine
for me ;-).
Try to rebuild glibc 2.1 development releases with gcc 2.7.2.x (it's
not hard to disable the configure tests) and run make check. You'll
get so many errors that you don't want to use gcc 2.7.2.3. Using gcc
2.7.2.x would lead to lots of complaints that glibc is broken - but
instead your compiler is broken.
Just look through the bug reports at
<http://www-gnats.gnu.org:8080/cgi-bin/wwwgnats.pl> and check the
reports which were really compiler faults and not glibc's.
