Jim,

Mature support for C++ templates and C++ exceptions are required by
EPICS R3.14. 

I am guessing that 2.7.2 will not work. That compiler is from the 95-97
time range. I don't know about gcc 2.8 and or egcs 1.0 through egcs
1.1.2. 

You shouldn't have any problems with gcc 2.95. We are using 2.96 on
Linux w/o troubles although EGCS claims that this is not a production
release. 

I assume that gcc 3.0 will be the best choice, but I have not personally
used that version. 

Jeff
