as far as i can remember, GCC took over EGCS and not the other way.
but you might for sure correct me. i remember reading somewhere that
gcc was in development and the egcs dudes ripped the gcc code made
their changes and released it under egcs then one day gcc and egcs
joined and all the patches applied to egcs got adapted by gcc.

anyways the -Werror problem still remain unexplained.
