I guess that's quite a bit faster than your sheevaplug then. Especially on floating point. No idea if the default gcc settings the makefile used are even ideal. > I think I fixed the other place that was missed in the latest libtool fix. So libtool seems to have built. I sent a patch to bug 632614 for it. Now I can actually apt-get build-dep vim, so I guess libtool is rather essential. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
