It would need some Makefile hacking. But not very much if you already have a working DJGPP makefile; DJGPP and mingw32 are both GNU make + GCC + GNU binutils. >When you are refering to the speed.

From what I've read, unoptimized GCC output is total cr4p. -- Damian Yerrick "I refuse to listen to those who refuse to listen to reason."
