The next release of Egcs, 1.1.1 is due out "soon". It's supposed to be mainly a bug-fix release (i.e. there's a separate "new features" development line). Is it possible to get this into Slink? (Incidentally, glibc is something like 14% smaller when compiled with recent snapshots. The "new features" development line is pretty exciting.) Nathan Myers ncm@cantrip.org
