No, those should work fine (I have egcs 2.90.29 release 1.03, but 1.0.2
worked as well). I do have a pentium II but that shouldn't be a problem;
the pentium optimising compiler is called pgcc, and besides the code it
generates still runs on older processors (I think).
Besides does anything else compile/configure? If it's just mico then try
downloading it again, otherwise something is clearly wrong somewhere.

I don't know a great deal about shared libraries so I can't really help
you here I'm afraid. 
Maybe you want to reinstall egcs? Did you compile it yourself or get a
binary? (Not that that should make a difference).
Did it work with gcc 2.7.2.3?
