As I recall (it was a *long* time ago) with 2.7.2, the build fell over
rather messily when the parsers were build by byacc.  (messy >= several
screenfulls of compiler errors).  I was told that cygnus used byacc for
their builds, but apparently their changes weren't in the FSF release.
Since egcs has come from cygnus to start with, it's not too suprising that
it worked pretty much out of the box.

Cheers,
