It states very clearly on the http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html web
page that:

	In April 1999, the egcs steering committee was
	appointed by the FSF as the official GNU
	maintainer for GCC. At that time GCC was
	renamed from the "GNU C Compiler" to the "GNU
	Compiler Collection" and received a new mission
	statement.
