The 1.0.x branch is quite stable, but essentially ``dead''.  There will,
however, soon be a new release branch 1.1.x from the current development
branch.

There (most probably) wouldn't have been a 1.0.3 hadn't RedHat decided
to use egcs for its next distribution.

egcs really isn't Linux-only or even Linux-centered -- Just look at
the number of platforms the various contributors are using! -- but
clearly this is a very good chance of getting good publicity and a
wide distribution.
