Thank you for your help.

Yes, egcs is 2.95.x and gcc-devel is 2.96 and the bleeding edge.
This is irrelevant since I don't plan to use egcs for production.
I'd like to know whether the ports behave like the native compiler
in -CURRENT. E.g. now I tell Joe User to use -R/vol/foo/lib for
the runtime library search path (Joe User is familiar with Solaris
and enjoys everything he already knows). But when he wishes to
perform some experiments wich egcs, then he should use -Wl,-rpath.
And when we switch to the next FreeBSD brach, I tell him that he
has to use something completely different for the native egcs.
