[pd at blueberry pd]$ rpm -q egcs    
egcs-1.1.2-30
[pd at blueberry pd]$ gcc --version
egcs-2.91.66

It's the same one. So it's pretty odd that you cannot build the
packaces supplied with R (I assume "make check" fails?). That has
worked for me all the time. I don't think I have anything out of the

$ more .Rconf 
CFLAGS="-Wall -g -O2"
FFLAGS="-Wall -g -O2"
