I am using an Amiga with [EMAIL PROTECTED] myself. My last GCC bootstrap on that machine was done in 1999 for GCC 2.95.2 and it took several hours. I never tried to boostrap newer GCC version because I fear that it would take much too long. I only did a non-optimized non-bootstrap build of 3.2.2 with 2.95.2 as build compiler on that machine. I have to cross-build GCC3 and newer to use them on this machine. Anything else wouldn't work. FWIW, I experienced a constant slowdown of the C compiler with every release since 2.7. While C is still usable, C++ with templates is not. Gunther
