Well I looked FTP sites of some Linux distributions
Slackware-3.6 - egcs-1.0.3
Slackware-4.0 beta2 - egcs-1.1.2
Suse-6.0 - even worse - egcs snapshot from January
RedHat-5.2 - egcs-1.0.3
Debian-2.1 - egcs-1.1
They usually have also gcc-2.7.2.3 binary (C only) for Linux kernel, but this
need goes away with 2.2.X kernels.
As we can see different egcs versions is widely used by various Linux
distributions. Therefore I don't see any serious reason why we should stay with
gcc-2.8.1.
