I've been looking at Debian patches today. I've been able to patch gcc to
allow it to build glibc 2.2. But I still can't get c++ stuff figured out.
So here's what I am going to do. I'm currently building gcc 2.95.2 with
some Debian patches applied. I'll use this to build glibc and related
packages. However, gcc 2.95.2 is going to stay in /contrib. egcs 1.1.2
is going to to stay our primary compiler until somebody can show me the
magic that makes it build c++ properly.
egcs will be used to build everything in the distribution, except for
glibc 2.2. Expect to see a whole lot of stuff sunc out here in a few
hours.
