What I meant by my question was: What is the user-visible difference in terms of command line options that can get passed to the backend? If I use generic gcc for sparc and type ggc -c --help, I get a bunch of output describing options that are interpreted by various stages in the compilation and linking pipeline. Is any of this output different w/ your code in place? In what way? - Bart -- Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance barts at cyber.eng.sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/barts "You will contribute more with mercurial than with thunderbird."
