i use the gentoo flavor of linux and a recent install method has become
popular there. i myself have not done this and i do doubt the usefulness
of it but i want to check with the people who would know the most about
the basic tool-chain as it is called.
this is the install method
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-400576.html
it basically involves compiling the gcc compiler not once but up to 3
times in a row as well as other programs considered part of the tool
chain.
they claim that this method makes the system rock stable and faster, are
they telling the truth?
