Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks.
fyi, I tried out your patch with x86-mingw32[1], and it did indeed
work very well. However, compiling some of my C++ files took much
more memory than it usually takes, and that may have to do with the
memory lossage.
I'm running a bootstrap right now with Alexandre's code and see how
much improvement I get.
[1] Win32 API has very good support for all sorts of memory mapped
files, but the interface is quite different from mmap and friends;
to allow gcc to use it, I'll have to create a wrapper (pretty simple),
and then add it to perhaps libiberty. I'd rather not add any more
platform specific code if possible to avoid future maintainance
hassles.
