Better fetch a distribution based on glibc2, it hurts much less ;-)

egcs _is_ safe. glibc-2.1 snapshots should _not_ be built with gcc-2.7.2.3
or earlier, gcc-2.8.1 is said to have problems. That linux-2.0.xx should
not be built with egcs on intel is because the kernel depends on (broken)
gcc-2.7.2.3 behaviour, or assumes certain optimizations won't be done,
etc. OTOH, I've been compiling linux-2.1 versions with egcs for ages (since
january or so), the problems have mostly been fixed by now as I'm not
exactly the only one to do so ;-)
