I guess you're swamped by messages like these, but since you asked: I've build and installed egcs 1.0 on what config.guess says is a i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1 system (Debian 1.3.1), without problems. I've compiled a small program using STL that gcc 2.7.2 couldn't handle because it uses default template arguments. Thanks! Bas de Bakker.
