Eh? Depends on your idea of short. I don't routinely compile GNU
sources on my 386, so very short to me is <1k with no headers.

Yes, but I don't normally work with programs so big they generate
600k temp files. anyway, if I need the space, I just zap the unused
compiler.

True, but I was grouping them. cc1plus uncompressed is 1.6M (? can't
remeber, I compressed it a while ago) and even a 12M machine pages,
so the cache gets filled with cc1plus and virtual memory, not much
use to me when I can wind up pulling in a dozen headers repeatedly.
However, I agree with you totaly that my setup is not for the faint
of heart. It does often require fine tuning.
