-                                  GCC 3.0
-
-   TBA
-
-   The [1]GNU project and the GCC developers are pleased to announce the
-   release of GCC version 3.0.
-
-   GCC used to stand for the GNU C Compiler, but since the compiler
-   supports several other languages aside from C, it now stands for the
-   GNU Compiler Collection.
-
-   GCC 3.0 has several new optimizations, new targets, new languages and
-   many other new features. See the [2]new features page for a more
-   complete list.
-
-   The GCC developers would like to thank the numerous people that have
-   contributed new features, test results, bugfixes, etc to GCC. This
-   [3]amazing group of volunteers is what makes GCC successful.
-
-   And finally, we can't in good conscience fail to mention some
-   [4]caveats to using GCC 3.0.
-
-   For additional information about GCC please refer to the [5]GCC
-   project web site or contact the [6]GCC development mailing list.

-
-                            GCC 3.0 New Features
-
-     * General Optimizer Improvements:
-          + [1]Basic block reordering pass.
-          + New if-conversion pass with support for conditional
-            (predicated) execution.
-          + New tail call and sibling call elimination optimizations.
-          + New register renaming pass.
-          + New (experimental) [2]static single assignment (SSA)
-            representation support.
-          + New dead-code elimination pass implemented using the SSA
-            representation.
-          + [3]Global null pointer test elimination.
-          + [4]Global code hoisting/unification.
-          + More builtins and optimizations for stdio.h, string.h and old
-            BSD functions, as well as for ISO C99 functions.
-          + New builtin __builtin_expect for giving hints to the branch
-            predictor.
-     * New Languages and Language specific improvements:
-          + The GNU Compiler for the Java(TM) language (GCJ) is now
-            integrated and supported, including the run-time library
-            containing most common non-GUI Java classes, a bytecode
-            interpreter, and the Boehm conservative garbage collector.
-            Many bugs have been fixed. GCJ can compile Java source or
-            Java bytecodes to either native code or Java class files, and
-            supports native methods written in either the standard JNI or
-            the more efficient and convenient CNI.
-          + New C++ ABI, capable of inter-operating with other IA-64
-            compilers.
-          + The new ABI also significantly reduces the size of symbol and
-            debug information.
-          + New C++ support library and many C++ bug fixes, vastly
-            improving our conformance to the ISO C++ standard.
-          + New [5]inliner for C++.
-          + Rewritten C preprocessor, integrated into the C, C++ and
-            Objective C compilers, with very many improvements including
-            ISO C99 support and [6]improvements to dependency generation.
-          + Support for more [7]ISO C99 features.
-          + Many improvements to support for checking calls to format
-            functions such as printf and scanf, including support for ISO
-            C99 format features, extensions from the Single Unix
-            Specification and GNU libc 2.2, checking of strfmon formats
-            and features to assist in auditing for format string security
-            bugs.
-          + New warnings for C code that may have undefined semantics
-            because of violations of sequence point rules in the C
-            standard (such as a = a++;, a[n] = b[n++]; and a[i++] = i;),
-            included in -Wall.
-          + Additional warning option -Wfloat-equal.
-          + Improvements to -Wtraditional.
-          + Fortran improvements are listed in [8]the Fortran
-            documentation.
-     * New Targets and Target Specific Improvements:
-          + New x86 back-end, generating much improved code.
-          + Support for a generic i386-elf target contributed.
-          + New option to emit x86 assembly code using Intel style syntax
-            (-mintel-syntax).
-          + HPUX 11 support contributed.
-          + Improved PowerPC code generation, including scheduled
-            prologue and epilogue.
-          + Port of gcc to Intel's IA-64 processor contributed.
-          + Port of gcc to Motorola's MCore 210 and 340 contributed.
-          + New unified back-end for Arm, Thumb and StrongArm
-            contributed.
-          + Port of gcc to Intel's XScale processor contributed.
-          + Port of gcc to Atmel's AVR microcontrollers contributed.
-          + Port of gcc to Mitsubishi's D30V processor contributed.
-          + Port of gcc to Matsushita's AM33 processor (a member of the
-            MN10300 processor family) contributed.
-          + Port of gcc to Fujitsu's FR30 processor contributed.
-          + Port of gcc to Motorola's 68HC11 and 68HC12 processors
-            contributed.
-          + Port of gcc to Sun's picoJava processor core contributed.
-     * Documentation improvements:
-          + Substantially rewritten and improved C preprocessor manual.
-          + Many improvements to other documentation.
-          + Manpages for gcc, cpp and gcov are now generated
-            automatically from the master Texinfo manual, eliminating the
-            problem of manpages being out of date. (The generated
-            manpages are only extracts from the full manual, which is
-            provided in Texinfo form, from which info, HTML, other
-            formats and a printed manual can be generated.)
-          + Generated info files are included in the release tarballs
-            alongside their Texinfo sources, avoiding problems on some
-            platforms with building makeinfo as part of the GCC
-            distribution.
-     * Other significant improvements:
-          + Garbage collection used internally by the compiler for most
-            memory allocation instead of obstacks.
-          + Lengauer and Tarjan algorithm used for computing dominators
-            in the CFG. This algorithm can be significantly faster and
-            more space efficient than our older algorithm.
-          + gccbug script provided to assist in submitting bug reports to
-            the GCC GNATS bug tracking database. (Bug reports previously
-            submitted directly to the GCC mailing lists, for which no
-            GNATS bug tracking number has been received, should be
-            submitted again to the bug tracking database using gccbug if
-            you can reproduce the problem with GCC 3.0.)
-          + The internal libgcc library is [9]built as a shared library
-            on systems that support it.
-          + Extensive testsuite included with GCC, with many new tests.
-            In addition to tests for GCC bugs that have been fixed, many
-            tests have been added for language features, compiler
-            warnings and builtin functions.
-          + Additional language-independent warning options -Wpacked,
-            -Wpadded, -Wunreachable-code and -Wdisabled-optimization.
-          + Target-independent options -falign-functions, -falign-loops
-            and -falign-jumps.
-     * Plus a great many bugfixes and almost all the [10]features found
-       in GCC 2.95.

-
-                              GCC 3.0 Caveats
-
-     * Enumerations are now properly promoted to int in function
-       parameters and function returns. Normally this change is not
-       visible, but when using -fshort-enums this is an ABI change.
-     * The undocumented extension that allowed C programs to have a label
-       at the end of a compound statement has been deprecated and may be
-       removed in a future version. Programs that now generate a warning
-       about this may be fixed by adding a null statement (a single
-       semicolon) after the label.
-     * The poorly documented extension that allowed string constants in
-       C, C++ and Objective C to contain unescaped newlines has been
-       deprecated and may be removed in a future version. Programs using
-       this extension may be fixed in several ways: the bare newline may
-       be replaced by \n, or preceded by \n\, or string concatenation may
-       be used with the bare newline preceded by \n" and " placed at the
-       start of the next line.
-     * The Chill compiler is not included in GCC 3.0, because of the lack
-       of a volunteer to convert it to use garbage collection.

-
-                                 GCC 2.95.3
-
-   March 16, 2001
-
-   The GNU project and the GCC developers are pleased to announce the
-   release of GCC version 2.95.3. GCC used to stand for the GNU C
-   Compiler, but since the compiler supports several other languages
-   aside from C, it now stands for the GNU Compiler Collection.
-
-   This is a minor release to address several bugs in the [1]GCC version
-   2.95.2 release.
-
-     * Generic bugfixes and improvements
-          + Fix numerous problems that caused incorrect optimization in
-            the register reloading code.
-          + Fix numerous problems that caused incorrect optimization in
-            the loop optimizer.
-          + Fix aborts in the functions build_insn_chain and scan_loops
-            under some circumstances.
-          + Fix an alias analysis bug.
-          + Fix an infinite compilation bug in the combiner.
-          + A few problems with complex number support have been fixed.
-          + It is no longer possible for gcc to act as a fork bomb when
-            installed incorrectly.
-          + The -fpack-struct option should be recognized now.
-          + Fixed a bug that caused incorrect code to be generated due to
-            a lost stack adjustment.
-     * Platform specific bugfixes and improvements
-          + Support building ARM toolchains hosted on Windows.
-          + Fix attribute calculations in ARM toolchains.
-          + arm-linux support has been improved.
-          + Fix a PIC failure on sparc targets.
-          + On ix86 targets, the regparm attribute should now work
-            reliably.
-          + Several updates for the h8300 port.
-
-   The whole suite has been extensively [2]regression tested and
-   [3]package tested. It should be reliable and suitable for widespread
-   use.
-
-   The GCC 2.95 release has several new optimizations, new targets, new
-   languages and other new features as compared to EGCS 1.1 or GCC 2.8.
-   See the [4]new features page for a more complete list of new features
-   found in the GCC 2.95 releases.
-
-   The sources include installation instructions in both HTML and
-   plaintext forms in the install directory in the distribution. However,
-   the most up to date [5]installation instructions and [6]build/test
-   status are on the web pages. We will update those pages as new
-   information becomes available.
-
-   The GCC developers would like to thank the numerous people that have
-   contributed new features, test results, bugfixes, etc to GCC. This
-   [7]amazing group of volunteers is what makes GCC successful.

-
-                                 GCC 2.95.2
-
-   October 27, 1999
-
-   The GNU project and the GCC developers are pleased to announce the
-   release of GCC version 2.95.2. GCC used to stand for the GNU C
-   Compiler, but since the compiler supports several other languages
-   aside from C, it now stands for the GNU Compiler Collection.
-
-   This is a minor release to address several bugs in the GCC version
-   2.95.1 release.
-
-   The -fstrict-aliasing is not enabled by default for GCC 2.95.2. While
-   the optimizations performed by -fstrict-aliasing are valid according
-   to the C and C++ standards, the optimization have caused some
-   problems, particularly with old non-conforming code.
-
-   The GCC developers are experimenting with ways to warn users about
-   code which violates the C/C++ standards, but those warnings are not
-   ready for widespread use at this time. Rather than wait for those
-   warnings the GCC developers have chosen to disable -fstrict-aliasing
-   by default for the GCC 2.95.2 release.
-
-   We strongly encourage developers to find and fix code which violates
-   the C/C++ standards as -fstrict-aliasing may be enabled by default in
-   future releases. Use the option -fstrict-aliasing to re-enable these
-   optimizations.
-
-     * Generic bugfixes and improvements
-          + Fix incorrectly optimized memory reference in global common
-            subexpression elimination (GCSE) optimization pass.
-          + Fix code generation bug in regmove.c in which it could
-            incorrectly change a "const" value.
-          + Fix bug in optimization of conditionals involving volatile
-            memory references.
-          + Avoid over-allocation of stack space for some procedures.
-          + Fixed bug in the compiler which caused incorrect optimization
-            of an obscure series of bit manipulations, shifts and
-            arithmetic.
-          + Fixed register allocator bug which caused teTeX to be
-            mis-compiled on Sparc targets.
-          + Avoid incorrect optimization of degenerate case statements
-            for certain targets such as the ARM.
-          + Fix out of range memory reference in the jump optimizer.
-          + Avoid dereferencing null pointer in fix-header.
-          + Fix test for GCC specific features so that it is possible to
-            bootstrap with gcc-2.6.2 and older versions of GCC.
-          + Fix typo in scheduler which could potentially cause out of
-            range memory accesses.
-          + Avoid incorrect loop reversal which caused incorrect code for
-            certain loops on PowerPC targets.
-          + Avoid incorrect optimization of switch statements on certain
-            targets (for example the ARM).
-     * Platform specific bugfixes and improvements
-          + Work around bug in Sun V5.0 compilers which caused bootstrap
-            comparison failures on Sparc targets.
-          + Fix Sparc backend bug which caused aborts in final.c.
-          + Fix sparc-hal-solaris2* configuration fragments.
-          + Fix bug in sparc block profiling.
-          + Fix obscure code generation bug for the PARISC targets.
-          + Define __STDC_EXT__ for HPUX configurations.
-          + Various POWERPC64 code generation bugfixes.
-          + Fix abort for PPC targets using ELF (ex GNU/Linux).
-          + Fix collect2 problems for AIX targets.
-          + Correct handling of .file directive for PPC targets.
-          + Fix bug in fix_trunc x86 patterns.
-          + Fix x86 port to correctly pop the FP stack for functions that
-            return structures in memory.
-          + Fix minor bug in strlen x86 pattern.

-
-                                 GCC 2.95.1
-
-   August 19, 1999
-
-   The GNU project and the GCC/EGCS developers are pleased to announce
-   the release of GCC version 2.95.1. GCC used to stand for the GNU C
-   Compiler, but since the compiler supports several other languages
-   aside from C, it now stands for the GNU Compiler Collection.
-
-   This is a minor release to address several bugs in the GCC version
-   2.95 release.
-
-     * Generic bugfixes and improvements
-          + Various documentation fixes related to the GCC/EGCS merger.
-          + Fix memory management bug which could lead to spurious
-            aborts, core dumps or random parsing errors in the compiler.
-          + Fix a couple bugs in the dwarf1 and dwarf2 debug record
-            support.
-          + Fix infinite loop in the CSE optimizer.
-          + Avoid undefined behavior in compiler FP emulation code
-          + Fix install problem when prefix is overridden on the make
-            install command.
-          + Fix problem with unwanted installation of assert.h on some
-            systems.
-          + Fix problem with finding the wrong assembler in a single tree
-            build.
-          + Avoid increasing the known alignment of a register that is
-            already known to be a pointer.
-     * Platform specific bugfixes and improvements
-          + Codegen bugfix for prologue/epilogue for cpu32 target.
-          + Fix long long code generation bug for the Coldfire target.
-          + Fix various aborts in the SH compiler.
-          + Fix bugs in libgcc support library for the SH.
-          + Fix alpha ev6 code generation bug.
-          + Fix problems with EXIT_SUCCESS/EXIT_FAILURE redefinitions on
-            AIX platforms.
-          + Fix -fpic code generation bug for rs6000/ppc svr4 targets.
-          + Fix varargs/stdarg code generation bug for rs6000/ppc svr4
-            targets.
-          + Fix weak symbol handling for rs6000/ppc svr4 targets.
-          + Fix various problems with 64bit code generation for the
-            rs6000/ppc port.
-          + Fix codegen bug which caused tetex to be mis-compiled on the
-            x86
-          + Fix compiler abort in new cfg code exposed by x86 port.
-          + Fix out of range array reference in code convert flat
-            registers to the x87 stacked FP register file.
-          + Fix minor vxworks configuration bug
-          + Fix return type of bsearch for SunOS 4.x.
-     * Language & Runtime specific fixes.
-          + The G++ signature extension has been deprecated. It will be
-            removed in the next major release of G++. Use of signatures
-            will result in a warning from the compiler.
-          + Several bugs relating to templates and namespaces were fixed.
-          + A bug that caused crashes when combining templates with -g on
-            DWARF1 platforms was fixed.
-          + Pointers-to-members, virtual functions, and multiple
-            inheritance should now work together correctly.
-          + Some code-generation bugs relating to function try blocks
-            were fixed.
-          + G++ is a little bit more lenient with certain archaic
-            constructs than in GCC 2.95.
-          + Fix to prevent shared library version #s from bring truncated
-            to 1 digit
-          + Fix missing std:: in the libstdc++ library.
-          + Fix stream locking problems in libio.
-          + Fix problem in java compiler driver.
-
-   The whole suite has been extensively [1]regression tested and
-   [2]package tested. It should be reliable and suitable for widespread
-   use.
-
-   The compiler has several new optimizations, new targets, new languages
-   and other new features. See the [3]new features page for a more
-   complete list of new features found in the GCC 2.95 releases.
-
-   The sources include installation instructions in both HTML and

-   the most up to date [4]installation instructions and [5]build/test
-   status are on the web pages. We will update those pages as new

-
-                              GCC 2.95 Caveats
-
-     * GCC 2.95 will issue an error for invalid asm statements that had
-       been silently accepted by earlier versions of the compiler. This
-       is particularly noticeable when compiling older versions of the
-       Linux kernel (2.0.xx). Please refer to the [1]FAQ for more
-       information on this issue.
-     * GCC 2.95 implements type based alias analysis to disambiguate
-       memory references. Some programs, particularly the Linux kernel
-       violate ANSI/ISO aliasing rules and therefore may not operate
-       correctly when compiled with GCC 2.95. Please refer to the [2]FAQ
-       for more information on this issue.
-     * GCC 2.95 has a known bug in its handling of complex variables for
-       64bit targets. Instead of silently generating incorrect code, GCC
-       2.95 will issue a fatal error for situations it can not handle.
-       This primarily affects the Fortran community as Fortran makes more
-       use of complex variables than C or C++.
-     * GCC 2.95 has an integrated libstdc++, but does not have an
-       integrated libg++. Furthermore old libg++ releases will not work
-       with GCC 2.95. You can retrieve a recent copy of libg++ from the
-       [3]GCC ftp server.
-       Note most C++ programs only need libstdc++.
-     * Exception handling may not work with shared libraries,
-       particularly on alphas, hppas, rs6000/powerpc and mips based
-       platforms. Exception handling is known to work on x86 GNU/Linux
-       platforms with shared libraries.
-     * In general, GCC 2.95 is more rigorous about rejecting invalid C++
-       code or deprecated C++ constructs than G++ 2.7, G++ 2.8, EGCS 1.0,
-       or EGCS 1.1. As a result it may be necessary to fix C++ code
-       before it will compile with GCC 2.95.
-     * G++ is also converting toward the ISO C++ standard; as a result
-       code which was previously valid (and thus accepted by other
-       compilers and older versions of g++) may no longer be accepted.
-       The flag -fpermissive may allow some non-conforming code to
-       compile with GCC 2.95.
-     * GCC 2.95 compiled C++ code is not binary compatible with EGCS
-       1.1.x, EGCS 1.0.x or GCC 2.8.x.
-     * GCC 2.95 does not have changes from the GCC 2.8 tree that were
-       made between Sept 30, 1998 and April 30, 1999 (the official end of
-       the GCC 2.8 project). Future GCC releases will include all the
-       changes from the defunct GCC 2.8 sources.

-
-   March 15, 1999
-
-   We are pleased to announce the release of EGCS 1.1.2.
-
-   EGCS is a collaborative effort involving several groups of hackers
-   using an open development model to accelerate development and testing
-   of GNU compilers and runtime libraries.
-
-   EGCS 1.1.2 is a minor update to the EGCS 1.1.1 compiler to fix several
-   serious problems in EGCS 1.1.1.
-     * General improvements and fixes
-          + Fix bug in loop optimizer which caused the SPARC (and
-            potentially other) ports to segfault.
-          + Fix infinite recursion in alias analysis and combiner code.
-          + Fix bug in regclass preferencing.

-          + Fix abort in alpha compiler.
-
-     Fortran-specific fixes
-     * Fix the IDate intrinsic (VXT) (in libg2c) so the returned year is
-       in the documented, non-Y2K-compliant range of 0-99, instead of
-       being returned as 100 in the year 2000.
-     * Fix the `Date_and_Time' intrinsic (in libg2c) to return the
-       milliseconds value properly in Values(8).
-     * Fix the `LStat' intrinsic (in libg2c) to return device-ID
-       information properly in SArray(7).
-
-   An important goal of EGCS is to allow wide scale testing of new
-   features and optimizations which are still under development. However,
-   EGCS has been carefully tested and should be comparable in quality to
-   most gcc releases.
-
-   EGCS 1.1.2 is based on the June 6, 1998 snapshot of the GCC 2.8
-   development sources; it contains all of the new features found in GCC
-   2.8.1 as well as all new development from gcc2 up to June 6, 1998.
-
-   See the [1]new features page for a more complete list of new features
-   found in EGCS 1.1 releases.
-
-   The EGCS 1.1.2 release includes installation instructions in both HTML
-   and plaintext forms (see the INSTALL directory in the toplevel
-   directory of the EGCS 1.1.2 distribution). However, we also keep the
-   most up to date [2]installation instructions and [3]build/test status
-   on our web page. We will update those pages as new information becomes
-   available.
-
-   The EGCS project would like to thank the numerous people that have
-   contributed new features, test results, bugfixes, etc. This [4]amazing
-   group of volunteers is what makes EGCS successful.
-
-   And finally, we can't in good conscience fail to mention some
-   [5]caveats to using EGCS 1.1.2. [6]Download EGCS 1.1.2 from

-
-   September 3, 1998
-
-   We are pleased to announce the release of EGCS 1.1.
-
-   EGCS is a free software project to further the development of the GNU
-   compilers using an open development environment.
-
-   EGCS 1.1 is a major new release of the EGCS compiler system. It has
-   been [1]extensively tested and is believed to be stable and suitable
-   for widespread use.
-
-   EGCS 1.1 is based on an June 6, 1998 snapshot of the GCC 2.8
-   development sources; it contains all of the new features found in GCC
-   2.8.1 as well as all new development from GCC up to June 6, 1998.
-
-   EGCS also contains many improvements and features not found in GCC or
-   in older versions of EGCS.
-     * Global common subexpression elimination and global constant/copy
-       propagation (aka [2]gcse)
-     * Ongoing improvements to the [3]alias analysis support to allow for
-       better optimizations throughout the compiler.
-     * Vastly improved [4]C++ compiler and integrated C++ runtime
-       libraries.
-     * Fixes for the /tmp symlink race security problems.
-     * New targets including mips16, arm-thumb and 64 bit PowerPC.
-     * Improvements to GNU Fortran (g77) compiler and runtime library
-       made since [5]g77 version 0.5.23.
-

-http://gcc.gnu.org/egcs-1.1/features.html
-
-                           EGCS 1.1 new features
-
-     * Integrated GNU Fortran (g77) compiler and runtime library with
-       improvements, based on [1]g77 version 0.5.23.
-     * Vast improvements in the C++ compiler; so many they have [2]page
-       of their own!
-     * Compiler implements [3]global common subexpression elimination and
-       global copy/constant propagation.
-     * More major improvements in the [4]alias analysis code.
-     * More major improvements in the exception handling code to improve
-       performance, lower static overhead and provide the infrastructure
-       for future improvements.
-     * The infamous /tmp symlink race security problems have been fixed.
-     * The regmove optimization pass has been nearly completely rewritten
-       to improve performance of generated code.
-     * The compiler now recomputes register usage information before
-       local register allocation. By providing more accurate information
-       to the priority based allocator, we get better register
-       allocation.
-     * The register reloading phase of the compiler optimizes spill code
-       much better than in previous releases.
-     * Some bad interactions between the register allocator and
-       instruction scheduler have been fixed, resulting in much better
-       code for certain programs. Additionally, we have tuned the
-       scheduler in various ways to improve performance of generated code
-       for some architectures.
-     * The compiler's branch shortening algorithms have been
-       significantly improved to work better on targets which align jump
-       targets.
-     * The compiler now supports -Os to prefer optimizing for code space
-       over optimizing for code speed.
-     * The compiler will now totally eliminate library calls which
-       compute constant values. This primarily helps targets with no
-       integer div/mul support and targets without floating point
-       support.
-     * The compiler now supports an extensive "--help" option.
-     * cpplib has been greatly improved and may be suitable for limited
-       use.
-     * Memory footprint for the compiler has been significantly reduced
-       for some pathological cases.
-     * The time to build EGCS has been improved for certain targets
-       (particularly the alpha and mips platforms).
-     * Many infrastructure improvements throughout the compiler, plus the
-       usual mountain of bugfixes and minor improvements.
-     * Target dependent improvements:
-          + SPARC port now includes V8 plus and V9 support as well as
-            performance tuning for Ultra class machines. The SPARC port
-            now uses the Haifa scheduler.
-          + Alpha port has been tuned for the EV6 processor and has an
-            optimized expansion of memcpy/bzero. The Alpha port now uses
-            the Haifa scheduler.
-          + RS6000/PowerPC: EGCS 1.1 includes support for the Power64
-            architecture and aix4.3 support. The RS6000/PowerPC port now
-            uses the Haifa scheduler.
-          + x86: Alignment of static store data and jump targets is per
-            Intel recommendations now. Various improvements throughout
-            the x86 port to improve performance on Pentium processors.
-            Conditional move support has been fixed and enabled for PPro
-            processors. The x86 port also better supports 64bit
-            operations now.
-          + MIPS has improved multiply/multiply-add support and now
-            includes mips16 ISA support.
-          + M68k has many micro-optimizations and Coldfire fixes.
-     * Core compiler is based on the GCC development tree from June 9,
-       1998, so we have all of the [5]features found in GCC 2.8.

-
-                              EGCS 1.1 Caveats
-
-     * EGCS has an integrated libstdc++, but does not have an integrated
-       libg++. Furthermore old libg++ releases will not work with EGCS;
-       HJ Lu has made a [1]libg++ snapshot available which may work with
-       EGCS.
-       Note most C++ programs only need libstdc++.
-     * Exception handling may not work with shared libraries,
-       particularly on alphas, hppas, rs6000/powerpc and mips based
-       platforms. Exception handling is known to work on x86-linux
-       platforms with shared libraries.
-     * Some versions of the Linux kernel have bugs which prevent them
-       from being compiled or from running when compiled by EGCS. See
-       [2]the FAQ for additional information.
-     * In general, EGCS is more rigorous about rejecting invalid C++ code
-       or deprecated C++ constructs than g++-2.7, g++-2.8 or EGCS 1.0. As
-       a result it may be necessary to fix C++ code before it will
-       compile with EGCS.
-     * G++ is also converting toward the ISO C++ standard; as a result
-       code which was previously valid (and thus accepted by other
-       compilers and older versions of g++) may no longer be accepted.
-     * EGCS 1.1 compiled C++ code is not binary compatible with EGCS
-       1.0.x or GCC 2.8.x due to changes necessary to support thread safe
-       exception handling.

-                                 EGCS 1.0.3
-
-   May 15, 1998
-
-   We are pleased to announce the release of EGCS 1.0.3.
-
-   EGCS is a collaborative effort involving several groups of hackers
-   using an open development model to accelerate development and testing
-   of GNU compilers and runtime libraries.
-
-   EGCS 1.0.3 is a minor update to the EGCS 1.0.2 compiler to fix a few
-   problems reported by Red Hat for builds of Red Hat 5.1.
-     * Generic bugfixes:
-          + Fix a typo in the libio library which resulted in incorrect
-            behavior of istream::get.
-          + Fix the Fortran negative array index problem.
-          + Fix a major problem with the ObjC runtime thread support
-            exposed by glibc2.
-          + Reduce memory consumption of the Haifa scheduler.
-     * Target specific bugfixes:
-          + Fix one x86 floating point code generation bug exposed by
-            glibc2 builds.
-          + Fix one x86 internal compiler error exposed by glibc2 builds.
-          + Fix profiling bugs on the Alpha.
-          + Fix ImageMagick & emacs 20.2 build problems on the Alpha.
-          + Fix rs6000/ppc bug when converting values from integer types
-            to floating point types.
-
-   An important goal of EGCS is to allow wide scale testing of new
-   features and optimizations which are still under development. However,
-   EGCS has been carefully tested and should be comparable in quality to
-   most GCC releases.
-
-   EGCS 1.0.3 is based on an August 2, 1997 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
-   or GCC 2.8.
-     * Integrated C++ runtime libraries, including support for most major
-       GNU/Linux systems!
-     * The integrated libstdc++ library includes a verbatim copy of
-       [1]SGI's STL release instead of a modified copy.
-     * Integrated GNU Fortran compiler
-     * New instruction scheduler
-     * New alias analysis code
-
-   See the [2]new features page for a more complete list of new features
-   found in EGCS 1.0.x releases.
-
-   The EGCS 1.0.3 release includes installation instructions in both HTML
-   and plaintext forms (see the INSTALL directory in the toplevel
-   directory of the EGCS 1.0.3 distribution). However, we also keep the
-   most up to date [3]installation instructions and [4]build/test status
-   on our web page. We will update those pages as new information becomes
-   available.
-
-   And, we can't in good conscience fail to mention some [5]caveats to
-   using EGCS.
-
-   Update: Big thanks to Stanford for providing a high speed link for
-   downloading EGCS (go.cygnus.com)!

-
-   The EGCS 1.0.3 release is also available on many mirror sites.

-
-   We'd like to thank the numerous people that have contributed new
-   features, test results, bugfixes, etc. Unfortunately, they're far too
-   numerous to mention by name.

-
-                                 EGCS 1.0.1
-
-   January 6, 1998
-
-   We are pleased to announce the release of EGCS 1.0.1.
-
-   EGCS is a collaborative effort involving several groups of hackers
-   using an open development model to accelerate development and testing
-   of GNU compilers and runtime libraries.
-
-   EGCS 1.0.1 is a minor update to the EGCS 1.0 compiler to fix a few
-   critical bugs and add support for Red Hat 5.0 Linux. Changes since the
-   EGCS 1.0 release:
-     * Add support for Red Hat 5.0 Linux and better support for Linux
-       systems using glibc2.
-       Many programs failed to link when compiled with EGCS 1.0 on Red
-       Hat 5.0 or on systems with newer versions of glibc2. EGCS 1.0.1
-       should fix these problems.
-     * Compatability with both EGCS 1.0 and GCC 2.8 libgcc exception
-       handling interfaces.
-       To avoid future compatibility problems, we strongly urge anyone
-       who is planning on distributing shared libraries that contain C++
-       code to upgrade to EGCS 1.0.1 first.
-       Soon after EGCS 1.0 was released, the GCC developers made some
-       incompatible changes in libgcc's exception handling interfaces.
-       These changes were needed to solve problems on some platforms.
-       This means that GCC 2.8.0, when released, will not be seamlessly
-       compatible with shared libraries built by EGCS 1.0. The reason is
-       that the libgcc.a in GCC 2.8.0 will not contain a function needed
-       by the old interface.
-       The result of this is that there may be compatibility problems
-       with shared libraries built by EGCS 1.0 when used with GCC 2.8.0.
-       With EGCS 1.0.1, generated code uses the new (GCC 2.8.0)
-       interface, and libgcc.a has the support routines for both the old
-       and the new interfaces (so EGCS 1.0.1 and EGCS 1.0 code can be
-       freely mixed, and EGCS 1.0.1 and GCC 2.8.0 code can be freely
-       mixed).
-       The maintainers of GCC 2.x have decided against including seamless
-       support for the old interface in 2.8.0, since it was never
-       "official", so to avoid future compatibility problems we recommend
-       against distributing any shared libraries built by EGCS 1.0 that
-       contain C++ code (upgrade to 1.0.1 and use that).
-     * Various bugfixes in the x86, hppa, mips, and rs6000/ppc backends.
-       The x86 changes fix code generation errors exposed when building
-       glibc2 and the Linux dynamic linker (ld.so).
-       The hppa change fixes a compiler abort when configured for use
-       with RTEMS.
-       The MIPS changes fix problems with the definition of LONG_MAX on
-       newer systems, allow for command line selection of the target ABI,
-       and fix one code generation problem.
-       The rs6000/ppc change fixes some problems with passing structures
-       to varargs/stdarg functions.
-     * A few machine independent bugfixes, mostly to fix code generation
-       errors when building Linux kernels or glibc.
-     * Fix a few critical exception handling and template bugs in the C++
-       compiler.
-     * Fix Fortran namelist bug on alphas.
-     * Fix build problems on x86-solaris systems.
-
-   An important goal of EGCS is to allow wide scale testing of new
-   features and optimizations which are still under development. However,
-   EGCS has been carefully tested and should be comparable in quality to
-   most GCC releases.
-
-   EGCS 1.0.1 is based on an August 2, 1997 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.
-     * Integrated C++ runtime libraries, including support for most major
-       linux systems!

-                             EGCS 1.0 features
-
-     * Core compiler is based on the gcc2 development tree from Aug 2,
-       1997, so we have most of the [1]features found in GCC 2.8.
-     * Integrated GNU Fortran compiler based on g77-0.5.22-19970929.
-     * Vast improvements in the C++ compiler; so many they have [2]page
-       of their own!
-     * Integrated C++ runtime libraries, including support for most major
-       linux systems!
-     * New instruction scheduler from IBM Haifa which includes support
-       for function wide instruction scheduling as well as superscalar
-       scheduling.
-     * Significantly improved alias analysis code.
-     * Improved register allocation for two address machines.
-     * Significant code generation improvements for Fortran code on
-       Alphas
-     * Various optimizations from the g77 project as well as improved
-       loop optimizations.
-     * Dwarf2 debug format support for some targets.
-     * egcs libstdc++ includes the SGI STL implementation without
-       changes.
-     * As a result of these and other changes, egcs libstc++ is not
-       binary compatible with previous releases of libstdc++.
-     * Various new ports -- UltraSPARC, Irix6.2 & Irix6.3 support, The
-       SCO Openserver 5 family (5.0.{0,2,4} and Internet FastStart 1.0
-       and 1.1), Support for RTEMS on several embedded targets, Support
-       for arm-linux, Mitsubishi M32R, Hitachi H8/S, Matsushita MN102 and
-       MN103, NEC V850, Sparclet, Solaris & Linux on PowerPCs, etc.
-     * Integrated testsuites for gcc, g++, g77, libstdc++ and libio.
-     * RS6000/PowerPC ports generate code which can run on all
-       RS6000/PowerPC variants by default.
-     * -mcpu= and -march= switches for the x86 port to allow better
-       control over how the x86 port generates code.
-     * Includes the template repository patch (aka repo patch); note the
-       new template code makes repo obsolete for ELF systems using gnu-ld
-       such as Linux.
-     * Plus the usual assortment of bugfixes and improvements.

-
-                              EGCS 1.0 Caveats
-
-     * EGCS has an integrated libstdc++, but does not have an integrated
-       libg++. Furthermore old libg++ releases will not work with egc; HJ
-       Lu has made a [1]libg++ snapshot available which may work with
-       EGCS.
-       Note most C++ programs only need libstdc++.
-     * Note that using -pedantic or -Wreturn-type can cause an explosion
-       in the amount of memory needed for template-heavy C++ code, such
-       as code that uses STL. Also note that -Wall includes
-       -Wreturn-type, so if you use -Wall you will need to specify
-       -Wno-return-type to turn it off.
-     * Exception handling may not work with shared libraries,
-       particularly on alphas, hppas, and mips based platforms. Exception
-       handling is known to work on x86-linux platforms with shared
-       libraries.
-     * Some versions of the Linux kernel have bugs which prevent them
-       from being compiled or from running when compiled by EGCS. See
-       [2]the FAQ for additional information.
-     * In general, EGCS is more rigorous about rejecting invalid C++ code
-       or deprecated C++ constructs than G++ 2.7. As a result it may be
-       necessary to fix C++ code before it will compile with EGCS.
-     * G++ is also aggressively tracking the C++ standard; as a result
-       code which was previously valid (and thus accepted by other
-       compilers and older versions of G++) may no longer be accepted.
-     * EGCS 1.0 may not work with Red Hat Linux 5.0 on all targets. EGCS
-       1.0.x and later releases should work with Red Hat Linux 5.0.
