The egcs packages are used to build the libstdc++2.8 and libstdc++2.9

to be modified to build the runtime libraries only (if you want to
step forward for this task, you are welcome).

It also needs to build some sort of c compiler for alpha, since gcc 2.95* cannot compile glibc on that architecture. Unless there is a fix in 2.95.2, which I doubt since I have seen it said that the root of the problem is too big to be addressed in a point release.

Also, there is not the possibility to build 'libstdc++2.8' or 'libstdc++2.9' on a glibc 2.1-based system due to ABI changes in libio.
