It is your choice to use egcs 1.1.2. To do that, you should also update
your glibc and maybe binutils. In my egcs 1.1.2 release note, I have
mentioned:

You need glibc 2.0.7 1998-12-11 or above to use the precompiled
egcs binaries.

If you can upgrade to egcs 1.1.2, I doubt you have much trouble to
upgrade to glibc 2.0.7 1998-12-11 or above.
