I have no problem with glibc 2.0/2.1 and egcs 1.1.1/Linux. Anyone
who uses Linux should give my egcs 1.1.1/Linux a try. I fixed some
many bugs, most of them are very important to Linux. Unfortunately
for various reasons, they are not in egcs 1.1.1.

BTW, since there will be egcs 1.1.2, I decided to cancel egcs
1.1.1/Linux and prepare for egcs 1.1.2/Linux. In the meantime,
you can get my old patch at
