this is not neccessarily going to stay. OK, the bsd split of the week
phenomenon will probably stay forever, but the gcc/egcs/pgcc split will not.

pgcc is (very slowly ;) becoming obsolete since egcs is implementing the
pgcc optimizations over time.

I'm also sure that egcs will not stay seperate from gcc for very long
(*sic*).
