Re: merging for 3.4 (was Re: [Patch] Qualify min(), max() ...)

There must be ways of getting it faster.  lcc is a *lot* faster, a lot
smaller, and doesn't produce code that is much worse.  Its parser is well-
written; I'd bet it's faster than LCC's CPP.  Most of our parser problems
come from a poor tree IL and bison.

I vote we force GCC developers to bootstrap on 100MHz Pentia for 1 year.
Must be the language.

Once again I'm repeating the old adage: People *never* complain to my about the speed of g77, just about the speed of the generated code.
