gcc? Has anyone a data point for similar compilers on Linux for zseries and
Linux for x86?
Is the C compiler on z/OS zIIP-eligible?

I've seen similar results for GNU configure. I attribute this to both compiler
and general process fork() overhead.
Are more address space creations nowadays due to UNIX fork() or batch
initiators? (Of course this is site-dependent.) I suspect AS creation is
still optimized for batch job steps ("BPXAS ON INTRDR"). This may be
suboptimal.
