The GNU C library can only be compiled with the GNU C compiler
family. As of the 2.1 release, EGCS 1.0.3 or higher is required.

You can use whatever compiler you like to compile programs that
use GNU libc, but be aware that both GCC 2.7 and 2.8 have bugs in
their floating-point support that may be triggered by the math
library.
On Alpha machines you need at least EGCS 1.1.1. Earlier versions
