I would if I could. One problem was an internal compiler error when
compiling syscalls.cc. Another was a "cc1 looping" problem when
compiling environ.cc and others.
I believe that both were due to internal Cygnus development that hadn't
hit EGCS yet, but I could be mistaken.
We received patches from g++ and gcc engineers that worked around the
problem. They're awaiting review before being put into the main gcc
sources.
