I need this egcs version to build up my own Linux kernel. So please help me soon. I had some luck using gcc-2.8.1 to build a newer version of egcs. i.e. gcc-2.7.2 would not build egcs-1.1.2, but gcc-2.8.1 could be built by gcc-2.7.2 and it could build egcs-1.1.2. Sounds like you may have a different problem possibly though. Fred
