If you bring your system up to date with hamm, the gcc, g++ and egcc
packages all contain a README (/usr/doc/<package>/README) explaining the
current setup.

For C: gcc (GNU gcc 2.7.2.3 as that's the compiler with which Linux 2.0.x
kernels have been developed; there's a problem when a 2.0.x
kernel is compiled using egcs gcc).
For C++: g++ (from egcs 1.0.3a) with matching libstdc++ (2.8) (and libg++
2.8 if you need the GNU extensions).
