I've been meaning to post a message about this.
The Pentium Compiler Group Homepage is
http://nightflight.com/~pcg/
You will need the original gcc sources (the FSF ones, not the ones in
the DJGPP distribution) to apply the patches. Also, as best as I can tell,
you will need a unix machine to apply the patches (maybe bash will work
on DOS, haven't tried).
The major problem is the current snapshot is broken for a go32 configuration.
I'm still tinkering around with it occasionally, and if I ever get
a working exe I'll put it in the precompiled binaries section from the
PCG home page.
Also, 2.8 will have the more stable Pentium Optimizations, and I'm sure
DJ will provide a version of this when available. Don't know when its
expected though.
