I have successfully installed egcs-1.0 together with the pgcc-1.0 patches on my home system just a few days ago. It compiled cleanly and most of the programs I have compiled with it work well. Compiling egcs takes quite some disk space (over 60 MB) and quite some time as well as you have to run through at least three building stages. There is currently no egcs-1.0 or pgcc-1.0 port of it available in the ports collection. -- Sascha Blank | "I prefer to work behind the scenes.
