Yes, how else would that be possible (except for emulators like VMWARE/DOSEMU/Bochs/etc)? > > 2.7 second kernel compiles vs. 15 seconds in DOSEMU is quite an > > advantage) > > My 9-year Linux time ended in 2002, so I usually let the kernel compile > itself (a goot test ;-) Hmm just wondering how you deal with CVS then? Do you run CVS on DOS? I see your emailing from Windows so that's a different thing ;) Just difficult to copy and paste things then, if you do kernel compiles and write emails on different machines... Don't worry though, I regularly let the kernel still compile itself, because it's indeed a good test. > > and here there are 120 fewer bytes.

I have no idea really. I only know that OW puts lots of other stuff in the .obj file, perhaps debug info, certainly information about static functions, etc. Bart ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
