OK.

Yes, that looks fine.

I was considering to drop the $ because it so incredibly ugly, so
could you try to think of shorter names? Of course it is not terribly
important, because they are identifiers, and can be readily changed,
but it would be nice if the names look nice (and are uniform across
the "language").

I am not sure. EGCS 1.03 and 1.1 are known to work.

1.1 please, I try to keep fixes for 1.0 to a bare minimum.

Try not use -O2 with EGCS on intel. I had some nasty core dumps when I
used egcs-1.1b with -O2 .
