Hi all.
So far, so good. Uptime only only about 1 hour, but all seems to work.
2.1.96, compiled SMP, running on a pretty generic Pentium 166 UP
system. Triton chipset, Award BIOS, Buslogic 948 SCSI, SCSI hardisk,
CDROM, no IDE, 64 MB ram, Matrox Mystique 4 Mb.

PPP works, Netscape does too. RedHat 5.0 with updates, kernel built
with pgcc-1.0.2.

My $0.02 about SMP = 1 in Makefile and egc/pgcc debate:
Documentation says to double check settings in top level Makefile
(README)
pgcc/egcs seems to be very particular about the optimization level and
options. I use: -O2 -fno-risc -mcpu=pentium -march=pentium

not very agressive, but I haven't had problems using this for a while.
