After rereading this I understand what you meant... If your new libraries
are compiled with pgcc they will be a bit faster. This will result in
better performance on every program using this library. If the library is
dynamically linked (the normal case) you do not need to rebuild the
program (this includes pgcc itself since it is dynamically linked
against libc).
