Stick with egcs (it is gcc nowadays anyway). IIRC it pretends to be a Pentium the best (keep in mind that I've not been paying much attention). > pgcc is news to me.

(Or is it just slower and safer)? gcc/egcs _is_ safer - pgcc is distributed as a patch to gcc and touches many compiler internals (for optimizations). It's been known to make things crash prone (like the kernel). -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
