I would not call egcs that fast, nor do I remember it having any role with Gentoo.

Gentoo was the first distro to use egcs as part of their default toolchain. Not sure if it was the only, but it was the only one I heard to had done so.

I can tell that in 2004, it was a regular GCC, and I got fed up compiling it.
