It seems that specifying -mcpu=G5 instead of -mcpu=G4 leads to a
tremendous increase in compile time for 3.4.1.
Here's the compiler I'm using:
[descartes:~/programs/gambc40b4-devel] lucier% gcc -v
Reading specs from
/pkgs/gcc-3.4.1/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin7.5.0/3.4.1/specs
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/pkgs/gcc-3.4.1
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.1
Here's a typical compile command in building Gambit-C:
gcc -mcpu=G4 -I../include -no-cpp-precomp -Wall -W -Wno-unused -O1
-fno-math-errno -fschedule-insns2 -fno-trapping-math
-fno-strict-aliasing -fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC -fno-common
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c _gsc_.c
The time for make -j with -mcpu=G5:
633.250u 15.960s 9:57.25 108.6% 0+0k 1+101io 0pf+0w
The time for make -j with -mcpu=G4:
107.190u 13.420s 1:23.98 143.6% 0+0k 0+63io 0pf+0w

PS: I'd report it against 3.5 on powerpc, but I haven't been able to
get 3.5 to bootstrap for a while, when I can get it to bootstrap I
often can't get it to build my applications, and the few times it has
built my applications it generates incorrect code. It's somewhat
frustrating.
