pa2.0 support wasn't added until maybe 2 years ago. And the only folks using gcc for PA2.0 are trying to build open source software under *HPUX*. Kind of an odd combination. At least until the parisc-linux port started *trying* to use it for 64-bit kernel builds. HP has invested alot in it's own compiler technology. Last I heard was that HP compiler generated ~15% faster code than gcc could for hppa. Sorry, I don't remember more details. I'm convinced there are tuning opportunities for both PA1.1 and PA2.0. grant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
