It's my understanding that egcs is the developement version of
the next major release of gcc. My understanding may be incorrect, but
I do know that egcs is still in beta test and has some serious bugs.
The people doing NetBSD (my favourite OS) are working with egcs on
several architectures. Due to optimizer bugs, it failed to compile
the kernel correctly on a number of architecture, and they had to
revert to gcc in the main CVS tree. Given the current state of the
development of egcs, I would recommend that it not be used in a
production environment. It's fine for you to play with it on your
home machine, but I can't risk my production servers to flaky
compilers.
