   They can deal with this too by providing a statically linked gcc
   2.7.2.3 on the cd. A cd has room for quite a lot besides a few hw
   drivers. :-)

Actually make that all combinations of:

(gcc-2.7.2, egcs-1.1.x, egcs-2.*) X (i386, i486, i586, i686, ppc,
			             sparc, sparc64, alpha, mips, sh,
                                     s390, arm)

There is even a tertiary level of complexity as you have to also
build each compiler/binutils set perhaps with whatever patches a
particular release of any given distribution added.

No, this is a bit unreasonable for now.
