A good question, is how easy it is to download egcs-g77-1.1.1.tar.gz and
build it into something workable assuming the EGCS C and C++ compilers
are part of the system.

I've got a Bmaked contribified version of EGCS, but didn't do g77.  So
maybe a consensus should be made what to do about FORTRAN in the base
system.
