Aehmm, what kind of performance is better in practical use? [ ] gcc: It may run only at 60% of the speed it could, when built with SUNWspro. (depending on what and how etc.) [ ] SUNWspro: it does not run at all, because it is linked against missing and unredistributable libs -- Martin Bochnig SCSA, SCNA, SCSecA, TOEFL, Student of Maths. at TU-Berlin, marTux _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
