Contribution to egcs

[Bruce Q Hammond <bruceq@pacifier.com>]

Hello,

I am interested in beoming a contributor to the egcs project. My
primary interest is in improving compile times and link times for
debugging builds of large C++ apps (e.g. > 4MB executatable when striped)  
My current app swells from 5 MB to 130MB for debug and takes forever to
link on a machine with 256MB of RAM.  Compile times for non-optimized
builds is also unaceptable for my purposes.
 
My first step would be to try and understand what is happening now and
learn about the existing designs and the build process. I am working with
the gcc for BeOSx86 -- should I get the distrbution directly from them Be, 
Inc?

 
What mailing-list should I use for general discussion of the above issues
and what might be done about them? Who (or what list) should I contact for
questions regarding configuration/make to build gcc?
 
Best,
--BQ
