RedHat 5.2 is OK, apart from the egcs version that comes with it,
but obtaining and building egcs 1.1.1 or better is quite easy.
(RH 5.2 should also be easy to get hold of from someone who's upgraded
to 6.0 recently). Debian 2.1 and RH 6.0 should be OK out of the box.

see README.egcs for more details on how to make it work with RH 5.0
