I downloaded his src rpm and applied the patches that would apply to 1.1.1. As I recall, one said it was aIready there, and a couple applied with offsets. I didn't use the rpm itself because after bootstrapping the compiler and running make check the Fortran compiler failed most of its tests, and I need a working Fortran compiler. (And I nearly gave up on the rpm before stumbling across the gperf patch in the contrib directory.) The make check on 1.1.1 failed fewer tests than any egcs build I've done. I'm not that interested in building kernels, but I do need working Fortran. I'm using 2.1.127 and glibc-1.99 on a Performa 6400. ------- Paul J.
