Its packaging was extremely old, and incompatible with the current gcc and
EGCS packages.

You're wrong. FSF gcc 2.8.x is to all intents and purposes a dead
development line. EGCS is actively maintained; its C++ has significant
improvements over FSF gcc.
IMO its only a matter of time until the FSF accepts reality, and blesses
EGCS as the official FSF gcc.
