Thanks. And apparently works on all the texlive platforms
including OS-X. I'm sure it will work on fedora and ubuntu
as well.

Faster because you're using the stock libf2c instead of
compiling libf2c. But if the result crashes ...
If faster compilation is really important to you, you could
compile and install the patched libf2c sources once and for
all. That might save you ten seconds of compilation time
every time there's a new release of pmx.
Don is having enough trouble compiling pmxab without having
to deal with libf2c issues.
I don't expect Don 2 worry about f2c. I just posted to tex-music in
order to inform other linux users about my observation. And I explained
privately in more details since you asked.
Best,
Bob
