Well, if you are patient (to wait for the CD), or if you don't mind
downloading Debian 2.0 Beta: Debian 2.0 Beta already comes with both gcc
and egcs. ;-) I'm lazy, so I never compile egcs. ;-) When I want to use
egcs instead of gcc, I just use "CC=egcc". :-)
$ ls -l /usr/bin/egcc /usr/bin/gcc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 60320 Jun 17 03:04 /usr/bin/egcc*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 49460 Jun 15 00:48 /usr/bin/gcc*
Cheers,
