You should always try to use the latest official release. Older versions
may not have all the features GNU libc requires. The current releases of
egcs (1.0.3 and 1.1.1) should work with the GNU C library (for powerpc see

While the GNU CC should be able to compile glibc it is nevertheless adviced
to use EGCS. Comparing the sizes of glibc on Intel compiled with a recent

??mips Which tools should I use for MIPS?
{AJ} Either use as compiler egcs 1.1.2 (with Ralf Baechle's MIPS patches) or
the current development version of gcc 2.96 from CVS. gcc 2.95.x does not
work correctly on mips-linux.
You need recent binutils, anything before and including 2.10 will not work
correctly. Either try the Linux binutils 2.10.0.33 from HJ Lu or the
current development version from CVS of binutils.
