Why isn't gcc-2.91.66 (egcs-1.1.2) packaged (for kernel 2.4 builds)

You're right. Until you describe the problem and submit an appropriate 
bug report, I don't understand it. If it's not a gcc bug, then a
statement why A+ cannot use gcc-2.95.3 would be helpful. I cannot find 
such a statement on the web page.

- you cannot make egcs-1.1.2 available in potato; it's frozen.
- as Ray pointed out egcs-1.1.2 doesn't build with glibc-2.2.
