Pat's "how to make the Slackware egcs package" notes.

To make the Slackware package, untar egcs source, configure and build as in
egcs-1.0.2.configure and egcs-1.0.2.make.  Then, we add these items to what's
installed with a "make install", and package it up with "makepkg".

1. add /usr/bin/cpp:
#!/bin/bash -
for i in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i*86*linux*/*/cpp; do
  exec "$i" "$@"
done

2. add /lib/cpp -> /usr/bin/cpp link.

3. Add links in /usr/bin:
   lrwxrwxrwx   c++ -> g++
   lrwxrwxrwx   cc -> gcc
   lrwxrwxrwx   f77 -> g77
   lrwxrwxrwx   i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1-gcc -> gcc

4. mv /usr/i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1 to /usr/ix86-linux.

5. add i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1 -> ix86-linux link in /usr.

6. mv /usr/local/include/f2c.h to /usr/include/f2c.h.  rmdir empty /usr/local.

7. Add links in /usr/lib:
   g++-include -> /usr/include/g++
   libstdc++.so -> libstdc++.so.2.8

8. gzip files in /usr/info, /usr/man/man1.

9. Add links in /usr/man/man1:
   lrwxrwxrwx   c++.1.gz -> g++.1.gz
   lrwxrwxrwx   cc.1.gz -> gcc.1.gz
   lrwxrwxrwx   cpp.1.gz -> cccp.1.gz
   lrwxrwxrwx   f77.1.gz -> g77.1.gz

10.  That's about it... now add any additional documentation needed in 
     /usr/doc, and then package it up with makepkg, or split into 
     C/C++/Obj-C/F77 packages and package those up with makepkg.
