Let me second this.  Joe Buck has made it abundantly clear that the  
one major selling point of the first egcs release is a reliable C++  
compiler reasonably close to the draft standard, with working  
exception handling support.

Although I cannot personally speak for the Fortran community on  
this list, I think that all other goals can be made subordinate to  
that one.  I have the feeling the g77 crowd can wait, especially if  
we (i.e. the g77-dev `inner circle') can produce a g77-0.5.21 to go  
together with gcc-2.7.2.3 that at least solves all the known bugs in  
g77-0.5.20 and then some - which we _can_ *iff* the GNU machines at  
MIT stay on the 'net reliably.
