First time I used pgcc was back in the 1.1.2 days. I had a program that
I really wanted to speed up. I was therefore happy that pgcc-1.1.2
generated code some 12% than standard egcs. When gcc-2.95.1 came out, I
eagerly awaited the pgcc patch. That is until it managed to abort on
error 11 for everything and everything I compiled. However I am happy to
say that with 2.95.2, you guys have done a stellar job. Not only no
signal 11s but performance is better than gcc-2.95.2 (not a whole lot,
but enough). Thanks for the great release guys.

As an aside, can anyone explain whether there is a gcc equivalent to the
DJGPP _control87()? I have a program which relies on it and refuses to
build because of it (or rather because it isn't found).
