Morten I understand your point BUT: I'm talking about a parallel version NOT a replacement. I saw a mail of somebody that succesfully patched the DJGPP version so isn't a Linux mather. And if you see any problem you can use the compiler without the new optimizations. >>d) Any other useful and tested improvement. >> Adding a great advice: THIS VERSION IS NOT AN OFICIAL FSF ONE. >In the past FSF did distribute djgpp. That kind-of makes it >official. Well but again I don't want to put out the actual files, I only want another files to allow to anybody that wants an optimized version download it and not spend a lot of hours in recompiling a compiler. Some improvements like the section one are very very needed, you know, automatic locking is a very helpful thing. >Morten ^^^^^^ Are you the author of the debugger?, Do you still supporting it?
