Building egcs on Linux 2.0.32

Hi:
	I have built egcs on Linux 2.0.32.  The host and target are
i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1.

	I have installed your version of dejagnu for the tests.  The results
of make -k check are:
                === gcc Summary ===
# of expected passes            4877
# of unexpected failures        6
# of expected failures          5
# of unsupported tests          7
                === g++ Summary ===
# of expected passes            3273
# of unexpected failures        106
# of unexpected successes       3
# of expected failures          101
# of untested testcases         6
                === g77 Summary ===
# of expected passes            130
# of unexpected failures        2

I am concerned about the failures.  My versions of ld and as are:
ld --version
ld version cygnus-2.6 (with BFD 2.6.0.14)
as --version
GNU assembler version 960425 (i486-linux), using BFD version 2.6.0.14

would upgrading to binutils-2.8.1.0.15 solve all of these problems?

We need many of the C++ features of egcs for cross platform compatability
of our C++ code.

Thanks for any tips.
