 http://www.cygnus.com/egcs/egcs-1.0.html:

   egcs-1.0 also contains many improvements and features not found in
   gcc-2.7 and even the soon to be released gcc-2.8 compilers.

Could someone please educate me about the relations between 
egcs and gcc 2.8?

It's pretty simple.

egcs-1.0 is based on an early August snapshot of the gcc-2.8 development
sources with many of our own enhancements & bugfixes.

The current snapshots are based on the soon to be release gcc-2.8 (again
with our enhancements and bugfixes).
