   This would have been the time of the great EGCS schism. The GNU people   
   (*cough* Stallman *cough*) were being overly control-freaky as per usual,   
   so a bunch of GCC contributors forked off the code into a new project   
   called “EGCS”. This soon became known for generating better code than the   
   original GCC.   
      
   Eventually the GNU folks realized the error of their ways. Their existing   
   “GCC” project was taken out back and put out of its misery, and the EGCS   
   project took over the “GCC” name.   
      
   I thought this began with GCC 3.0, but according to this   
    it was actually 2.95.
