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.
