I found that I can't build octave with egcs though I can with gcc
2.7.2.1. After some searching, it turns out that the key difference
is in include/g++/std/bastring.h -- the old version has
#include <iterator.h> commented out, the new one has it in, and that
brings in a pile of other stuff. The resulting error messages:
gcc -c -I. -I../../octave-2.0.9/liboctave -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -I../glob -I../libcruft/misc -I../../octave-2.0.9 -I../../octave-2.0.9/liboctave -I../../octave-2.0.9/src -I../../octave-2.0.9/glob -I../../octave-2.0.9/libcruft/misc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O2 ../../octave-2.0.9/liboctave/CColVector.cc

I don't know who this sort of thing belongs to -- is it octave for
making a bad assumption about what names are reserved, or is it egcs
for taking away a name that used to be available?
