This is normal, we have enabled extra warnings for the development
tree to aid in finding and fixing bugs.  In fact, this work has exposed
many bugs in the egcs tree that we have fixed.

We won't be able to do anything if it's "nasty rumors".  If indeed egcs
will not compile freebsd 2.2.6, then someone needs to file a bug report
on the problem or it will not get fixed.

In general, snapshots may be unstable.  We make no promises about the
stability of snapshots.  They may not even build.  If you want stable
code, use the releases.

We are in the process of stabilizing a branch in the source tree which
will become egcs-1.1.
