Hmm. I will take a look later. But my default compiler is 2.95.4 and I believe
romcc still compiles with that. Dropping egcs-2.91.66 is unfortunate but
livable. With compilers and even more so with binutils pushing the
requirements is not a big deal as it is necessary to support the
newest hardware.
We have no innate requirement for python which makes me worry much
more about pushing the version.

Hopefully we can track that down. A few weeks ago it worked with
my version 2.1 of python.
