I just succesfully installed egcs 1.1b on my Linux RH5 machine. I ran the test suites but cannot decide if the compiler passed or not. It went on for a long time, if thats a good sign. Im a Senior computer engineer at WashU Stl. and I think the egcs g++ compiler is a sweet tool. Thank you all for your time and efforts. Sincerely, -Federico David Sacerdoti
