David...I misunderstood part of the issue...since it was reporting 'egcs-2.9x', I made the erroneous assumption that it was v2.9x ... it is my understand since that point that it has more to do with trying to keep the numbering in semi-line with GCC itself, and nothing more. the fact that it said 'experimental' lead me further to believe that, similar to our 2.x vs 3.x strains... I my understanding is now correct, the next logical step for our EGCS port to go is the 1.1.1 that is currently in pre-release? Thanks... Marc G.
