Re: Relationship between GPC and GCC on Linux (Compiling)

1. As there is not a patch for this version of EGCS in the GPC distribution, I decided to compile with the latest GCC (2.8.1). There is or will be patches for EGCS 1.1.2?

I just wanted to say that the current alpha snapshot already has these patches, but those are for the development branch of EGCS that goes towards egcs-1.2, not egcs-1.1.2. However AFAIK it should be straightforward to use the egcs-1.1.1 diff for egcs-1.1.2.

2. The compilation goes smoothly. Installation too. But should I keep the files /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.8.1/{libgcc.a,spec} or they can be safely removed (and then GPC uses the ones from the EGCS installation)?

I did not try, but I can imagine that GPC will not find them in their directory. I am also not sure in how far these files are compatible between gcc-2.8.1 and EGCS, so I'd recommend to keep them. ;-)
