egcs-ers

I've just downloaded egcs1.0.2 and installed it on solaris2.5.1.  So
far I'm able to compile and install it and compile some code usings egcs.
I've compiled some of my own code + the STL test suite distributed by
MegaByte (STL adaption previously maintrained by Moscow Computing Center).

Before continuing, config.guess => sparc-sun-solars2.5.1

config command:
../configure --prefix=/fou/c4share/lib/egcs --enable-haifa \
             --program-prefix="egcs-" \
             --includedir=/fou/c4share/include/tcl7.5 \
             --includedir=/fou/c4share/lib/tk4.1

The includedir was added in an attempt to let the config command
find my local tcl & tk installation (without any success it seems :-( )

I should also say that I used native sun compilers (cc v4.2) and
gnumake v3.69, and I downloaded the whole installation, including
the dejagnu version you have provided.

There are however some issues I'd like to address

Build, Test & Install
=====================

     * make -k check didn't run any testsuites in the gcc area, and
       the only part being tested seems to be libio.  Anyway, the test
       completes after 4 min on an Ultra-30 which tells me that not very
       much has been tested.  Do these tests require a full install of
       dejagnu?  configure in dejagnu ended up with
       "... no X based programs will be installed."

     * there are a few compiler warnings, both when building stage1 using
       native sun cc, and when building stage{N} using stage{N-1}.

     * although I provided a program-prefix to configure, the programs
       installed still have the standard names (gcc, g++ etc), I'd expected
       egcs-gcc, egcs-g++ etc.

     * rtti - is there any reason why typeinfo.h is not shipped with egcs?
       I noticed that typeinfo.h was part of libg++2.7.2, but not in 2.8.x!!

FYI, I'm going to use egcs mostly to check for ANSI compliance in my own
code + experiment with recently added features since the other compilers
I'm using are lagging ANSI a bit more than you ...
