John Polstra fa5dde5a30 This is a new port for egcs, which probably stands for something
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.

Plaintext

Egcs (pronounced "eggs") is an enhanced version of the GNU compiler
suite, including gcc, g++, and g77. Egcs is based on a recent
snapshot of the gcc-2.8 development sources; it contains nearly
all of the new features found in gcc-2.8. Egcs also contains many
improvements and features not found in gcc-2.7 and even the soon to be
released gcc-2.8 compilers. C++ support, and in particular template
support, is vastly improved over gcc-2.7.
For more details, see <http://www.cygnus.com/egcs/>.
Beware: This port installs new versions of "gcc", "g++", "c++" and
so forth into the "${PREFIX}/bin" directory. Mind your PATHs if you
don't want to use this compiler by default.
