Joining in what? Faster code on RISC machines, for one thing. The egcs project uses a new scheduler which is a big win for certain architectures, such as Pentium, RS/6000 and HP/PA.>> Also, it was my understanding that although the new scheduler is indeed technically attractive, it is not yet stable or reliable, and the egcs project is working hard to iron out the bugs, so the present tense is not quite appropriate here -- though of course the work to smooth out the wrinkles in this new scheduler may well be very worth while in the long run. I had also heard there were some assignment problems, is that still the case .... if not great!
