Hm. I installed egcs + pgcc patches with no errors at all:

-rw-rw-r--  1 dan devel  243986 Jan  5 08:43 egcs-1.0.1-pgcc-1.0.1.diff.gz
-rw-rw-r--  1 dan devel 6700735 Jan  3 17:19 egcs-core-1.0.1.tar.gz
-rw-rw-r--  1 dan devel 1318704 Jan  3 17:19 egcs-g++-1.0.1.tar.gz

extracted them, applied the patch, cd'd into the gcc directory (i.e. I
did _not_ build the other subdirs), ran

./configure --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --with-exec-prefix=p

Then did a make bootstrap LANGUAGES="c c++", then a make install.  I
haven't tried pgc++ yet, but plain pgcc seems to work.  Haven't done
any timing tests either, but the few programs I've recompiled don't
really feel any faster.

$ pgcc -v       
Reading specs from
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-unknown-freebsd2.2/pgcc-2.90.23/specs
gcc version pgcc-2.90.23 980102 (egcs-1.0.1 release)
