Well, the porters for the AXP version of Debian GNU/Linux has been
using egcs as our primary compiler since 1.0 came out, and I'm
currently running an egcs-compiled kernel and glibc---no problems in
recent memory.

Heck, I was able to debug a C++ program with the latest GDB snapshot
with no problems.  Quite stable.

That leaves me curious as to what problems the RedHat people are
having that are considered sufficiently showstopping to warrant
forcing a new compiler release.  Any ideas?
