On an old desktop, I upgraded it to col 3.1, then on to gcc 3.02. Once done I
played
around with a few kernel compiles and some apps. It all worked 100%. The big
hitch is that I noticed that the compilations are much larger than what
2.95.3
provided.
For instance... on a monolithic kernel under 2.95.3 I see a kernel size of:
774227 Oct 30 07:24 vmlinuz-2.4.13
Using the same config and kernel source under gcc 3.02 I see:
832326 Nov 3 22:22 vmlinuz-newkernel
What the extra 60k in bytes is doing... I dunnno. :') But it's supporting
everything a
kernel should... :')
The same events occur for all compilations that I've done. I wish I had some
way
of disecting them to see what the big (pun intended) difference is... As for
performance
it's a give and take affair. Some things run faster, some don't. Moving
LARGE files
across the lan over nfs shares measures nearly the same for both kernels...
Not quite
what I was hoping for, but at the least I can say I've done some work with
the new
compiler.
Cheers.
