I'm sure this is oft-discussed:

Is there a timetable for adding the egcs
capabilities to DJGPP?  I tried PGCC, and it
produced slower executables (for my very specific
application) than DJGPP, using similar switches.

By the same token, egcs benchmarks run under
Linux show strong performance improvements for
certain kinds of floating point code -- I'm
estimating about a factor of two for our codes.

It would be nice to do some of the development
on available DOS machines, then transfer the source
over to Linux for predictable performance...
