I'm not sure about the stability of egcs releases; do you have a
production release there or just a beta?
You might have better luck with gcc 2.8.1 or even 2.7.2. (I've
been using 2.7.2.2 for several years with nary a bug, though
admittedly I don't do anything with templates or exceptions...)

I'm using 1.1.1 athome...I suspect that unless you start using C++ stuff,
egcs should be as stable, if not more so, then gcc ... the C++ stuff
appears to be their primary focus, as its totally broken in gcc ..
