Hello!

I did this too, and I was able to build egcs. But after installation I
was not able to build a shared library anymore. ld complained about
linking objetcts compilied with pic/PIC with objetcs that had no
pic/PIC. I was at least able to compile a working kernel, but had to
fix some warnings (look at the appended diff). I had to unpack
comp.tar.gz from 1.3 to get back a compiler which was able to build
shared libs again though, and I am now back to gcc 2.7.2.2+myc1.
I was not able to track down the problem with ld :(

PS: Here are some egcs related fixes for warnings, should I commit
those?
