I've been mulling this whole situation over and it's becoming an ugly
situation.
What I'm really trying to do is get a stable "newer" version of egcs,
whether it be from the 1_1 CVS branch or from the snapshots. No matter
what, though, I need them to compile jade and fix some of the problems
that were present even back in 1.0.3 (jade wouldn't compile then either).
I had an idea, though...
I'm tempted to rebuild the hamm egcs package as a secondary compiler and
making an eg++ as well (just for conformity). I would upload this, have
the 'egcc' link in the current egcs be diverted, and be able to use both
while not needing the older libstdc++ or libg++ versions (now available in
a separate package anyway).
How does this sound? It may take awhile as my home PC has just kicked the
bucket for good and I can't replace it right away :-( Time to get one of
these Alphas home to use :-)
