Some time ago, there were instructions on how to move from a gcc
environment to egcs. I remember following those instructions to the
letter, on my Mac68k system, and it worked just great!
Unfortunately, I no longer have the instructions and would like to move
my i38 system to egcs, too. Can someone report the procedure? Thanks!
