I think Jim Studt has a hatchet fix that avoids this problem.  It would 
probably be suitable for the Debian package in the short term though it won't 
be put into egcs proper.

With luck, Debian 2.2 will go out with egcs 1.2, which ought to have a proper 
fix for these problems and may even have the Linux/ARM support completely 
integrated.  I will make a new patch against the egcs mainline today for 
anybody who wants to try it.  But I've no idea whether the release schedules 
of the two projects will permit this.
