Scanned by multiple scanners system that were used to build gcc-2.8.1
in June and October (even if I don't believe there can be something):
	f-prot  3.03,
	drweb32 4.03 beta,
      Norton Antivirus 4.0 with this months virus data files
      scan 3.1.9

Nothing was found except one rather unrelated unrelated false alarm with 
drweb (but that file was never run anyway: beta version of IBMBIO.COM from
Caldera OpenDOS)

So seems that gcc281b.zip and lgp2811b.zip should be clean. However
it is necessary to know which scanner were used when this alarm were
generated. If this is false alarm perhaps authors of scanner should be
informed.
