I have warned many months ago that the current default configuration for egcs might cause problems for people on Linux who want to install egcs as their default compiler. The default Linux configuration in egcs 1.0.2 was not designed to be used as the default compiler.

The ultimtate end of a computer should be to make my work I have make egcs 1.0.2 linux/x86 binaries avaialable. Please check out ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC Please do read my release note. If you want to install it, you should remove ALL your previous egcs 1.0.2 from your system. BTW, I will also make egcs 1.0.3 linux/x86 binaries when it is released to public. -- H.J. Lu (hjl@gnu.org)
