I've been roaming through the egcs-bugs archives. Many of these reports
are rubbish that start out with "egcs told me to mail this address with
a full report, so here I am".
Unfortunately, many these include things like the single line that made
egcs bomb, no host or target information, no compilation options, and so
on. Since the specific message that is emitted by the compiler doesn't
tell them what constitutes a good bug report or how to find more info,
most don't seem to bother.
