I use freefall , FreeBSD 2.1.7 to recompile the client 8)

Basically, we have taken yet another step back with gcc :(

FreeBSD-1.0's gcc used to rock in terms of compilation it was at
least twice as fast as the lastest gcc , and of course it didn't
have any of the Pentium optimizations which may account for its
current slowness -- well I am just giving it the benefit of the
doubt. Someone ought to really look into what the hell is going
on with gcc.
