here's one of those chicken-and-egg type things (yes, that's why the subject line is called 'egcs' :) (aww come on, what do you expect at 2am?) i'm downloading gcc-2.7.2.3.tar.gz ok. now i assume it's a tar full of source files that i'll probably make into the actual gcc stuff. now then.. if you have to compile gcc, how did the first version of gcc get built? and on a slightly saner note, to compile 2.0.36 i put gcc 2.7.2.3 in the same dir that egcs is in (well, not the same one, but the same dir that it's dir is in) and do gcc -V2.7.2.3 to use it don't i?
