EGCS has official releases now as well as developer snapshots.  PGCC does as
well.  The current pgcc 1.0.1 release has had no bug reports against the c
compiler in 5 months.  I will be releasing a more experimental snapshot
soon, that will be update regularly.

Same for regular gcc, although the likelihood with pentiumgcc is much
greater :)

Yep.  Sometimes an order of magnitude difference.
