No, I just checked. It is used to compile C programs as well.

Compileing a simple hello world program took 24 seconds with the following
command line:

gcc test.c -o test.exe

I've tried specifying -O0 to try and turn off the optimizations, but it
compiles at the same speed. Is there any way I can turn off the
optimizations or only have gcc-2.95 use the optimizations that 2.8.1 used? I
don't want to have to take so long to compile a project while it's in test
stages. Rather have it compiling faster while I'm developing it and adding
optimizations later when it is finished.
