That is fine with me as long as we are prepared to deal any problems
in egcs 1.1 related to shared libraries in Linux even if it means
1.1.1. It was a problem for Linux in the past. That is why I came
up with the interface patch. I hate to see people get a wrong
impression on Linux and egcs because of this.
