As far as I know "g" and "rmi" are equivalent, yes. "g" is easier to type and read if you use it a lot (only ancient targets really); the compiler will probably become somewhat slower for those targets, and perhaps somewhat faster for all others. Hard to say without doing the work and measuring the result :-) Segher
