I upgraded just like said in Frodol's step by step guide. I installed it in
/usr/i586-linux-libc6/lib. I havent noticed any problems except compiling
egcs.
The trick in this guide is that you can switch between your primary libc5 and
libc6 very easily. If you see any flaws please tell me. 
 
Btw. I checked egcs-1.0.3 yesterday again. It didnt compile either. My
first successfull build was for libc5.
It failes on enquire.c (cc1 signal 11) this time. This problem is also
reported by others on frodol's 
problem page. There is an advice to try it without optimizing but it doesnt
work.

I debugged both egcs-1.0.3 & 1.1.1-prerelease-3, and they both crash at the
end of output_constant_pool() in varasm.c for no good reason. My guess is
that cc1 is miscompiled yes, but I cant trace the cause. Maybe its a glibc
thing , maybe not.

I think this error is reproduceable if you've got time to check out
Frodol's step by step guide.
