egcs installation questions

hello,

I have been trying to install egcs 1.01 and have several questions that do not 
seem to be addressed anywhere that I have seen.

First, I downloaded from CVS, and that went fine.  The question is:  Most of the
files I got are headed "egcs 1.0" NOT egcs 1.01.  IS this just a case of the 
file heading not being updated????

Second, I have a pentium II system and the configure shell recognizes my 
computer as a ibm686.  IS that correct?

I used the default (i.e. no prefixes)  So my egcs stuff now resides in 
/usr/local/bin and the other default directory.  Now, as long as I set my 
makefile to use the gcc and g77 in these directories I'm all set??  It seems 
that there are many other files in these directories will they automatically get
used correctly?

Finally,  I used the most recent binutils (.20) and I ran the test suite and 
found that it had unexpected failures in the g77 tests.  Is there any way to 
know whether this is ok?  I see on the egcs newsgroups that there seems to be 
various results from these tests?  It would be great to have some collection of 
various accepted responses, right now I don't know whether to be concerned or 
not.

Other than these uncertaintities I have successfully completed the installation.
If you can put my worries to rest, I think I can send the configure file you 
request and call it a done deal.,


Thanks

Mike
