I don't know if anyone every answered this so I will.
EGCS is the Experimental GNU Compiler System -- an updated
experimental version of gcc. Beta 19's compiler was based on the
FSF gcc 2.8 release. Either can be used to compile Cygwin32...
Future GNU-Win32 releases will include EGCS instead of gcc 2.8.
