It's the linker and it is GNU's fault not FPC. If there is a custom linker built this may solve the problem, or maybe we could look into why the linker is so slow and get the C programmers to do the work - I haven't done any research on it but surely this has come up in conversation before on the C lists somewhere. _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives

FPC itself is also very fast, the bottleneck is the used GNU linker. > > I'm not complaining, just asking. _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
