I just install egcs 1.1.1 on my RH 5.0 box so I could get a proper mySQL build. I've rebuilt my 2.2.1 kernel and XFree86 3.3.3.1 with it, and while I haven't noticed a significant speed increase, I have observed that after the kernel and X re-builds, my swap usage seems to be much more sane. I noticed an improvement in swap after the kernel build, and another improvement after re-building XFree86. Thanks to the reduced swapping, I guess, the system seems to be responding much quicker and smoother in X apps. Does egcs fix memory leaks that exist in binaries compiled with gcc 2.7*? Another question: being a newbie at glibc2, I'm wondering if I'm going to hurt myself if I re-build pre6 with egcs? Should I rebuild my apps or glibc2 first? tia -- David Wollmann DST / DST Data Conversion http://www.ibmhelp.com/ ICQ: 10742063
