Well, the Linux build by default uses the Cygnus compiler and it was
too much initial effort to get that working on FreeBSD (we only had
a RedHat distribution). I ended up porting one of the projects to
FreeBSD w/ gcc 2.95.3 and it built about fourty minutes faster than
the Linux machines using Cygnus GNUpro-99r1. It still manages to be
around fifteen minutes faster than the Linux machines that've been
switched to use 2.95.3. Still pretty freakin' adimirable if you ask
me.
