I don't know if anyone every answered this so I will.

EGCS is the Experimental GNU Compiler System -- an updated
experimental version of gcc.  Beta 19's compiler was based on the
FSF gcc 2.8 release.  Either can be used to compile Cygwin32...
Future GNU-Win32 releases will include EGCS instead of gcc 2.8.
