Hi,

I recently bought a used p120 laptop and am running Mandrake 6.0 and the
included pgcc.  I do a lot of compiling, so for me (and on this slower
machine) optimization means compiling as fast as possible, not
necessarily the fastest compiled binary every time.  Does PGCC without
the "fancy" options just degenerate to the Egcs/Gcc 2.95 case?  If so, I
can just have pgcc and no other compiler (I'm a little short on disk
space, too.) and adjust options depending upon my degree of impatience. 
;-) I do not see this covered in the FAQ, and I don't have Egcs handy to
directly test with.

Thanks,
Steve Bergman
