As I understand the history, the egcs people had a disagreement with the gcc people so they split off and continued to develop gcc on their own. Later, egcs was in a better state than gcc so the gcc people got together with the egcs people and merged the two compilers to make a best of both tech

Last night I was trying to compile to programs that were written in c++ (wmcdplay & wmmixer). The installation instructions said to run xmkmf, then make. When I did this xmkmf set CXX=c++ and CC=gcc. At this point I should mention that I did NOT have egcs installed on my system, so c++ did not exi
