Remove that line, the procedure I describe should do the equivalent for
you...

If you downloaded EGCS from Mumit's site reasonably recently (do a
gcc --version and if it reports
egcs-2.91.57 then I think you are alright) you have basically all you need
except for the proper specs file. Try replacing the specs file in (assuming
an install in D:\egcs\)

D:\egcs\lib\gcc-lib\i386-mingw32\egcs-2.91.57

with the attached specs file. Rename the old one specs.old, and rename the
attached file specs. This will link with msvcrt.dll and define __MSVCRT__
which changes things in a couple of header files.

Good luck,
Colin.
