Error: Install and Test

Answer to one of my own questions:

I found that I had to install the termcap and ncurses libraries from my
Redhat distribution CD.  Once I did that the program build and ran perfectly.

Now I have another conceptual question arising out of my newbie experience:
I just installed a new egcs compiler but it uses libraries created by
someone else.  I thought libraries were best created by the compiler for
better integration.  If that is the case, how does one go about creating
all the necessary libraries using the ecgs compiler?
