I program both under Linux and MS-DOS with djgpp and I found a patch that 
allows GCC 2.7.2 to optimize code to take advantage of the Pentium's 
superscalar architecture.  I installed the patch on Linux and the 
performance improvement for most of my programs was quite dramatic.  Is 
a similar patch available for djgpp, or if not, what modifications do I 
have to make for the patch to make it work with the djgpp GCC sources?  I 
wouldn't want to download as much as eight megabytes just to find that I 
can't make the patch work.  Any help would be appreciated.
