This is their bleeding edge offering. This will enable us to better track
the direction EGCS is going for future upgrades of /usr/contrib/egcs/.
Above ver 1.1.2, this offering gives you many C++ fixes/enhancements, *and*
a native Java compiler.
Note that the 1.1 versions are an older code base (egcs rev 2.91.x) vs.
the snapshot this is replacing (egcs rev 2.92.x). However people have
reported less problems with 1.1.1-prerel than the current snapshots.
(I will probably not be tracking the snapshots as closely now. I'd like to
see if 1.1 isn't stable enough to stay with for a while)
Cygnus calls this 1.1a (not Alpha, but a second rolling because a few G77
files were left out). I'm naming this version 1.1.1 so people won't think
it is an alpha version.
like "enhanced GNU compiler suite." It contains updated versions of
gcc, g++, and g77 with many bugfixes and some new optimizations.
The C++ compiler in particular is vastly improved over gcc-2.7.2.1.
