>From http://oss.sgi.com/projects/Pro64/READMEsrc.html:

        Build Information 
        Prerequisites: 
        We used the following versions of the GNU tools  to compile the 
binaries include
        in our rpm: 
        gcc version 2.96 19991114 (experimental) 
        GNU F77 version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)
        (i386-redhat) 

        We have also verified that our compiler builds with: gcc version 2.95 
19990728
        (release) . You will also need to install the NUE environment in order 
to build IA64
        libraries. Information about NUE can be found at:her. We used our own 
sgicc and
        sgif90 compilers to build the IA-64 libraries. You will need to install 
those from the
        pro64 rpm under the NUE environment.

On my personal build system I have:

  %rpm -qa | grep egcs
  egcs-1.1.2-12
  egcs-c++-1.1.2-12

  %egcs --version
  egcs-2.91.66

I don't know how to query for more verbose info.
