Hi Kaveh,
I ran gcc 3.2.2 with the patch, and it took 15 minutes instead of 18
minutes to compile my application. That's a slight improvement, but I
guess my ideal running time would be closer to 10 minutes. Am I
dreaming? :)
I think at this point I'm either going to go back to 2.95.3, or consider
a commercial compiler.
Thanks to everyone for your support.
Your build-system may be very slow if it uses 'make' and a lot of shell
scripts and does a lot of file/header searching.
Try upgrading to scsi HDDs or try a better/faster build method (jam):
