IIRC, older Sun compilers stored a database of precompiled (or was
pre-processed) header files in a database.  Perhaps egcs could do a
similar thing?  I guess the problem is knowing when to update the
database -- IMHO, the real problem is that templates don't fit in well
with the single-pass, compile/link model, but I guess we're stuck with
it.
