If you go to http://www.goof.com/pcg/ you can see what I'm > talking about, Yes, but I have yet to have *anyone* post any numbers that show that using `pgcc' made their system "faster". I have heard from people that `pgcc' made this system less stable. `pgcc' is an experimental testing grounds for new IA-32 optimizations. This implies the code it produces may not be the most robust. Me, I'll only use a world and kernel built by a released version of GCC. > there is also a port in /usr/ports/lang/pgcc. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Like no kidding. Who do you think made that port and maintains it?? Geez. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
