I was under the impression that there are illegal constructs in 2.0 that
GCC likes but EGCS hates, and that these problems were fixed in the 2.1 development
tree some time ago. The whole GCC/EGCS thing is mostly political, IMHO, as
many agree that EGCS is the superior compiler. There was a big thread on -devel
discussing whether glibc2.1 was pulled because it doesn't compile with GCC 2.8.
