I imagine many of them are dependent on proprietary M$ information.

There's one of these when expect crashes in the egcs testsuite on W95.  It
doesn't get that far under NT.

<<Is there anything that is known to break 95 while

Of course, but I haven't seen any official list.  One of them is attempting to
build egcs from patch files.  The snapshot releases have made progress on the
vfork failures of the original b20.1 under W95.  There are also things which
work better under W95 than NT.  One of them is catching success/failure
returns from gcc/g++/g77 compiled a.exe.
