Bootstrap Times Improvements?

[Ranjit Mathew]

Hi,

  Between Tuesday and Wednesday (Indian time), something(s)
went into mainline that is showing me a dramatic decrease
in bootstrap times - a c,c++,java bootstrap on i686-pc-linux-gnu
now takes 51m for me compared to 65-66m earlier, which is
around 20% of savings over the course of a single day! So
who do I thank for it? :-)

I am not seeing bootstrap failures as others are, the Java
testsuite runs are clean and the ChangeLogs indicate that
my tree does have the latest changes...

Are others seeing similar savings in bootstrap times too?

FYI, I'm using 3.4.4 as a bootstrap compiler, binutils
2.16 (FSF) and configure with --disable-checking and
--with-arch=pentium4.

Ranjit.
