My second suspiction is that since there where some subtile changes to the
API in egcs and gcc-2.8 (struct returning for example). Most of the
problems with those compiler show mainly on systems which use components
compiled partly with one of them and partly with some of the erlier gcc
releases.
BTW. Linus and Alan are utterly wrong in theyr bashing of egcs. The single
one sufficient reason which gratifies the usage of egcs over gcc-2.7.x is:
Actually *usable* and standard adherent C++ support. (However there are
some other resons too). Therefore it's really a pitty that one can't use
the stable 2.0.xx with it...
