Got it to build, or got it to run? It's quite possible to build most of KDE with this turned on. Many applications are, last I tried it, horribly broken though. The problems includ kdeinit, kdesktop, most of the commandline apps, and the dcopserver (since it's pretty difficult to run anything with those broken, I can't even guess how bad the rest of the applications.) > Let me know if it's a feature that could be supported in -ports or not. Since it's just a configure switch, pretty easily. It'll need to be shown working, reliable, not producing any additional bugs, and using a system compiler not a ports one (KDE is big enough already, and relies on other C++ libs, we can not inflict that on the users, at least not until GCC actually reiliably provides the ABI compabitility they keep promising.) Let's say, although I'm a little sceptical that it will be a smooth ride, I think we'd be mostly very happy to see this working. (Just don't get your hopes up too much, while there are speed increases to be had, they are not *that* big, and mostly involve application startup times, so don't expect your computer to feel like it got a major CPU injection over this!)
