I personally forwareded the fix from Kenner to Jeffrey A Law (and he
replyed to me) so egcs should be safe too. I only want to say that Kenner
was the __only__ gcc guy that sent me the real fix for a bug I have
discovered in gcc 2.8.1 (and in the latest egcs of that time). Nobody
fixed the bug in the egcs staff.
