I installed egcs + pgcc patches with no errors at all: -rw-rw-r-- 1 dan devel 243986 Jan 5 08:43 egcs-1.0.1-pgcc-1.0.1.diff.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 dan devel 6700735 Jan 3 17:19 egcs-core-1.0.1.tar.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 dan devel 1318704 Jan 3 17:19 egcs-g++-1.0.1.tar.gz extracted them, applied the patch, cd'd into the gcc directory (i.e. I did _not_ build the other subdirs), ran ./configure --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --with-exec-prefix=p Then did a make bootstrap LANGUAGES="c c++", then a make install. I haven't tried pgc++ yet, but plain pgcc seems to work. Haven't done any timing tests either, but the few programs I've recompiled don't really feel any faster. $ pgcc -v Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-unknown-freebsd2.2/pgcc-2.90.23/specs gcc version pgcc-2.90.23 980102 (egcs-1.0.1 release) -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.con
