Did I miss something? I am running RedHat 5.1. I have no problems
using both egcs 1.0.3 and egcs 1.1. One thing helps me is the library
interface. If you want to change egcs 1.1.1 for RedHat, how about
my library interface? It can be specific for RedHat. I can provide the
patch. RedHat can some minor changes to make egcs 1.0.3 happy with the
patched egcs 1.1.1.
