This is GNU GCC 2.95.1, compiled to support C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran-77, Java, and Chill. It is supplied as an alternate compiler for Slackware. It's not very well tested at this time for things like compiling the kernel and system software, so if you use it for such things you are on your own. To make this your default compiler, just install it with 'installpkg'. If you decide later to switch back to egcs, just remove this package with 'removepkg' and then reinstall egcs with 'installpkg'.
