> Is it a painless retrofit to put > the current STL on a current egcs? The current STL is in the egcs development tree. It's just binary compatibility that prevents it from getting into 1.1.2 - we don't want everybody to recompile everything after a subminor release. > The STL is quite important to me, and I'm willing > to do what I can to make it play friendly with > egcs. If you absolutely want to use the current STL with 1.1.2, instead of using development versions until 1.2 is released, you could certainly have a look at the changes Jason made when he updated the STL version.

Changes made to it are integrated back into the SGI code base. I think there was some formal agreement between SGI people and egcs people about doing it that way. Regards, Martin
