After the import of egcs into CURRENT, several changes were made to the egcs port as well, to keep it somewhat in sync. For example, the egcs port was taught about the '-fformat-extensions' flag. However, the egcs port does not know about the '-aout' flag and possibly some other changes that were made to the base egcs in CURRENT. Having egcs use the '-aout' flag is important for those wanting to build the XFree86 port with aout compatibility libraries using egcs as their compiler. I guess the main reason for wanting the aout libraries is to run netscape.
