You might want to download a newer one from the cygnus site: ftp://egcs.cygnus.com/pub/egcs/releases/egcs-1.0.3a/egcs-1.0.3a.tar.gz This is the current state-of-the-art GNU C compiler for Alpha and PowerPC systems. It includes all of the features from gcc2.8, plus some additional optimization (a fair bit of which came from the pgcc developers!). -- Bill Moyer
