Perhaps I'll bring this up on the egcs list.

I can't say for absolutely certain myself---I suspect egcs, though, as
I *think* the last working copy was compiled with egcs successfully. I
would guess using version 1.0.1.

Well, the gcc maintainer just took the patches out of gcc that were
needed to get it to build on the alpha at all, because they were
conflicting with something for the intel.
So the answer would be something like, "no". :-)

That's actually the problem we're having on the alpha.

Could you give me the .diff.gz file for 1.1-5? I've been trying to
build with a recent snapshot of egcs, and having no luck because I
don't remember what the changes were that made the link work with
egcs, and I've had *0* time to work on it.
Simply having a set of egcs-compatible diffs would work wonders.

I'd rather not go there.

We'll let you know if we find anything.
