egcs is too fast a moving target for consideration at this
point. Also, the quality varies too much from day to day, so even if
we did include egcs, it would be a lot of work to find a stable
release. I believe there is talk about moving to a later version of
gcc, but I cannot see (and would oppose) a move to egcs at this point.
