[C++-SIG] CXX (Release 8) and EGCS 1.1.1

[Paul F. Dubois]

Someone told me they had succeeded with another alteration to the config
file, but that the resulting compile times were through the roof.

This would indicate ECGS is not good at templates. If so, this is a
not-unheard-of state for a C++ compiler. I plan to try ECGS myself at some
point.

I regret that I lost this message in the process of moving recently. If the
person who sent it to me would comment about the change necessary I would
appreciate it.
