Re: egcs-optimized GNOME -- WOW!

["Alex G. Paoli" <ad_alexp wgn net>]

I use pgcc 1.03 With all of the opt flags on -O6 -mpentium (dont got the
ol pro) and ALL of the debugging flags off.

BTW: I recompiled PGCC 1.03 with -O6 too :> Interesting aint it. And I
compiled the Kernel with these flags also.. Makes for a really fast boot
and overall performance boost. (Be fore warned, Its a pain in the A to get
all the flags correct for the Kernel, but MAN it helps)

Yesterday I compiled the complete set of CVS sources (A Pain but I do it
once in a while).. Everything:ORBit, GTK, IMLib, LibGtop, Glib,
Gnome-Libs, Gnome-Core, Gnome-Utils, Gnome-Guile. Then my MW (Window
Maker).Other than a few missing files here and there and a few mods to
MakeFiles the compiliation(s) worked great.

After finishing the install (with ALL Opt Flags etc.) I then strip
--strip-all the /gnome/lib ../gnome/bin files... (I know not good, but
hey)... (I do that also in my /usr/local/lib tehe)

Everything Works GREAT and FAST (Well, Almost everything, My Gnome-Help
Crashes, but that could be something new in CVS. I already posted that
prob).

So to answer the question if it all compiles well... YES
