Yes but I didn't compiled RHIDE in the last 6 months.

Well I don't care much about EGCS in fact currently I have problems much more 
simple than that, I made an upgrade from Debian 1.3 to 2.0 and now I have 
problems to compile my editor statically with the normal gcc .... so I won't 
even try egcs. Looks like Debian people made something really wrong, perhpas 
mixed static libraries compiled with glibc 1 headers.
