Fascinating. GCC (version 4.1.0) takes less than 25 seconds to compile and link a command-line shell using the amalgamation with full optimization (-O3) - which as far as I know is as slow as you can make the compiler run. With all optimization turned off, the whole thing builds in 3.430 seconds (wall-clock time). One of the reasons proffered for not using the amalgamation is that compiles go faster if you do not have to recompile the whole thing. I read that and thought "4 seconds is too slow?" But perhaps GCC is just a really fast compiler and the person who said that is just using a much slower compiler. I'm curious to see a comparison of the size and speed of the executables that result from GCC and its more sluggish competitors. Does anybody have any data? -- D.
