If some versions of GCC use fork(), and others -- vfork(), so, GCC in fact supports both styles, right? So, can this be made at least configurable? And as for performance... Of course, vfork() is slightly faster, but the performance gain (microseconds?) is neglectable if compared with times spent on compilation and optimization... -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18006
