I'm not sure wether this will ever happen. I'd rather guess gcc will become
part of egcs (as it already is ;)

it will stay as a seperate compiler until egcs is good enough at optimizing
pentium code as pgcc is (hopefulyl even better). There won't be a formal
pgcc->egcs merge, as we hope to get even more general optimizations into
egcs. Other pentium-only improvements are put into egcs part by part.
