That's asking a bit too much. The SGI compilers issued in the last year have
been perfectly capable of bootstrapping gcc and egcs from 'cc -n32'. The last
bad version was MipsPro 7.1, and that was a real turkey. How is some scheme
which worked for someone with gcc at one time supposed to solve the problem of
bootstrapping egcs with every buggy and not-so-buggy compiler version SGI has
ever issued?
