	egcs is very slow in compiling c++ code on intel solaris.

There have been a great many changes to the C++ compiler since gcc 2.7.2.
It is not possible to say why egcs appears to be slower to you.  It may
also depend on the programs that you are compiling.  For instance, if you
are using features that were unsupported (ignored) by gcc 2.7.2, then it
will obviously take longer for egcs to compile those programs because it
has extra functionality.  If you are using templates heavily, your choice
of template instantiation method may have a significant affect on compile
times.

	Is there a configure option I can
	enable to make a faster egcs?

Not really.
