- acveilleux 11y agoOh, I remember having to use kgcc on red hat to build a kernel because egcs couldn't... Recently worked on bits of ancient C++ that still require gcc 2.7 for that very reason. I am so glad that gcc got its house in order. As a bonus the compiler got significantly better in pretty much all the ways it could (at least for users, no idea about internals.)
