Well, GCC 2.95.x can be patched for pentium, ppro, and k6 optimization to make your programs run faster and more efficiently. If you could compile the base system with it, you would glean more performance from the box. If you go to http://www.goof.com/pcg/ you can see what I'm talking about, there is also a port in /usr/ports/lang/pgcc. --cokane David O'Brien had the audacity to say: > On Mon, Jan 10, 2000 at 12:40:54AM -0500, Coleman Kane wrote: > > Obviously, you have never tried to make world with the new egcs, it is almost > > WHY do you need to make world with GCC 2.95.2?
