egcs-1.1.2 is a reasonable C compiler. It makes a few errors under register pressure and stuff. However its at best 'a C++ subset compiler'. 2.95 is a fair bit better.
Most of these problems are also not the compiler but applications. gcc 2.95 broke a lot of asm using code because the apps were wrong. Without the pain they would simply never get fixed
