Added a whole lot of information on upgrading with egcs and the common

problems discussed in -current up through approx april 7th.  Those
more in the know please read these changes and send me corrections.
I've only hit a few of the cases, not all of them, so my reporting is
second hand at best.

In recent days egcs has been imported into the tree. A number
of problems have been discussed in -current. Here is a highlight
of a few of the more common ones. With the exception of make
-j n, they have been claimed to have been fixed.
c++ is broken after make world: This is correct. Because we
changed compilers two make worlds are necessary to get C++
working again. The code generated by the old compiler and new
compiler are not compatible, so things wind up being
undefined.
cpp is broken in make world: There was a window where cpp
would be built incorrectly. The fix for this is
cd src/sys/gnu/usr.bin/cc
make clean
make all
make install
and this should correct your problems. See the -current
archives for a version of this that does moer cleaning.
Make -j n doesn't work. Work contiunes to make this work,
I've seen no reports of success as of April 7th.
