EGCS was a _code_fork_ from the gcc 2.8 source. When RMS found that no one wanted to run gcc 2.8 and was contributing bug reports and patches to it. RMS saw the amount of usage and support the EGCS effort was getting; thus he agreed to let the EGCS group become the official GCC. GCC 2.95 was the first release known as "GCC" done by the EGCS people. > Version 2.95.3 was the last stable version before 3.0 came out. > There was an interim 2.96 release that contained experimental support > for generating 64-bit code on SPARCs, And IA-64, etc. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
