EGCS is another name for GCC, which was used when GCC temporarily forked
(EGCS stands for Experimental GNU Compiler System, GCC was GNU C Compiler
but now means GNU Compiler Collection). When the old GCC was dropped
because EGCS became mature, EGCS took over the GCC name again albeit with a
new meaning. EGCS versions can roughly be equated to early GCC v2.9x.xx
version numbers.
I definitely remember being able to compile Xvnc using one of the two
compilers I mentioned, but it was long enough ago that I can't remember
which one. I have very recently compiled XFree86 v4.0.2 successfully using
GCC 2.95.2, and I haven't heard of significant problems with XFree86
compilation, except from the RedHat 7.0 crowd (who have trouble with
everything).
I personally suggest going to www.fsf.org, downloading and compiling the
latest 2.95.x version you can find (or use RPM if you feel more comfortable
with that) - avoid 2.96.x, that's what RH 7.0 uses - and try again. By the
look of it, you're using some recent version of Mandrake, which should be
perfectly stable and fine, and have all the right tools installed. If you
still have problems after installing the "from the horse's mouth" version
of GCC, we'll look into it further.
