My message should have read 2.95.2.  The point was about the
performance gain in 2.95 being big enough to consider dumping egcs
despite C++ problems.

Thank you I used Mandrake's RPM and hacked it because I didn't like it

I know about libstc++-compat my problem is if I will need to recompile
Qt and every C++ based library before I begin to compile new things
using Gcc-c++.

By the way maintaing C++ libraries is becaoming a such nightmare that
I am on the verge to suggest KDE people to rewrite it in Cobol.  :-)
