Congratulations on succeeding to raise my blood pressure. The problems we have in slink currently are NOT caused by EGCS. They resulted from libc6 being compiled with the maintainers local /usr/local/bin/cc rather than /usr/bin/gcc. This introduced symbols in libc6 that shouldn't have been there. The problem cascaded into libraries compiled on systems that had this broken libc installed. Two of these were libstdc++2.8 and libstdc++2.9. It's not a fault of mine or of the other EGCS maintainers that the libc6 maintainer choose to repair this problem in a way that broke just about every system that tracked "frozen".
