[Matrix-SIG] Latest EGCS snapshot compiles CXX code

[Joe Van Andel]

Good news:

egcs-2.93.21 19990502 now compiles CXX code (on Solaris 2.6, and
probably other targets).  (No patching required).

Using templates slows down the compiler noticably, but at least we can
now use CXX to build C++ to Python interfaces.

egcs is available from
ftp://egcs.cygnus.com/pub/egcs/releases/index.html
or its mirrors.

And egcs is now "mainstream" - it will be the basis for the next
"official" GNU gcc.
