I'm creating a new Linux distribution that uses pgcc as it's default compiler.
Right now we are using pgcc 1.1.3 and one of our requirements is that all 
packages are able to recompile themselves.  We have five different builds, for
the Pentium, PentiumPro+, AMD K6, Pentium (+NewInstructions), PentiumPro+ (+
NewInstructions).  

Question: is there a version of pgcc that is available (1.1.1? 1.0.3?) that can
compile itself properly using all of the following compile options:

	-O6 -mpentium
	-O6 -mpentiumpro
	-O6 -mpentium -march=pentium
	-O6 -mpentiumpro -march=pentiumpro
	-O6 -mamdk6

If not, is there a version of egcs that will suit our needs?  Or is there a 
work-around for pgcc?  Or when can we expect a fix for the -mpentiumpro 
compiler flag? :)
