locus requires at least gcc 2.8.0 (I dropped support for 2.7.x because
I kept breaking things and I don't want to maintain conditional code
just to support an old nonstandard compiler anyway). I use gcc 2.8.1;
I was told egcs works, too; but when
I tried, I was disappointed: egcs-1.1b (that's the archive name; the
--version switch says egcs 2.91.57) does not handle some (IMHO
perfectly legal) constructs in locus code. So stick to gcc 2.8.x.
