I already answered these questions from you ~2 weeks ago (03/06, they are
still on the server even)
Did you forget already?
PGCC is not an upgrade to your existing compiler.  You either replace it
completely, or keep both of them and choose which one you want to use.  PGCC
is based off of egcs.  Egcs, in turn split from gcc 2.8.  Any changes that
go into gcc 2.8 are patched into the egcs source release.  PGCC has all
features that gcc 2.8 does and then some.
