For reference:

http://gcc.gnu.org/egcs-1.1/

where it states:

	September 3, 1998: We are pleased to announce the release of EGCS 1.1.
	December 1, 1998: We are pleased to announce the release of EGCS 1.1.1.
	March 15, 1999: We are pleased to announce the release of EGCS 1.1.2.

If you refer to:

http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html

For a more comprehensive list of gcc release dates.

NetBSD 1.5 was released on December 6, 2000.
c.f.: http://www.netbsd.org/Releases/formal.html#previous

And hence was using a compiler that was one release branch back
from the gcc head.
