Hi! The following patch saves ~ 2.4GiB of disk space in x86_64-linux bootstrapped object directory: find obj80 -name \*.gch -a -type f | xargs du -shc | grep total 3.7G total find obj82 -name \*.gch -a -type f | xargs du -shc | grep total 1.3G total and ~ 800MiB for i686-linux: find obj81 -name \*.gch -a -type f | xargs du -shc | grep total 1.2G total find obj83 -name \*.gch -a -type f | xargs du -shc | grep total 409M total by disabling PCH in stage1/stage2/stageprofile builds, so only building it in stage3/stagefeedback etc. I think in stage1/stage2 it is a pure waste of bootstrap time and disk space, for profiledbootstrap I'd say PCH isn't used commonly enough in the wild that it is worth training GCC on that (but if you disagree, I can surely take out that single line in there).
