Does it support mmx? gcc allready lets you compile for cputargets (like -march=pentiumpro, take a look at http://egcs.cygnus.com/onlinedocs/gcc_2.html) or you can rebuild gcc with the pgcc-patch (supports mmx); take a look at Mumit Kahn's "HOWTO build GCC-2.95.2 on Cygb20.1" http://www.goof.com/pcg/ "The Pentium Compiler Group was founded in late '95 to enhance and support pentium optimization in GCC (the GNU C Compiler). GCC does a very good job when optimizing, but the Pentium Chip's architecture demanded different optimization strategies. " PGCC claims to be up to 30% faster than gcc but has no support for the latest stuff like PIII's ISSE or K7 btw, stable stuff is merged into gcc after some time Regards, S.Rekow -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
