   I'd agree that gcc main line release would be around 2.7 in 1998. I can   
   remember I started writing software for a Strongarm based video security   
   system in 2001. By then ARM kernels were compiled/cross-compiled with   
   gcc 2.95.x. Then gcc 3.0 / 3.1 came out which was better for userland   
   code but kernels compiled with it would not run so we stayed with 2.95   
   for some time.   
      
   However, the SHARC stuff was definitely derived from gcc 1.x in 1998 as   
   it struck me as very old as 2.x had been out for a while by then.  This   
   was the version of the compiler that ran on Windows. ISTR I used a PII   
   200MHz probably running WinNT to develop on. The Unix systems were   
   reserved for ADA, Occam and other esoteric stuff ;-)
