I didn't really understand your description, but there have been a couple of gcc projects in this general space: compiler server and incremental compiler. The latter is described at http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/IncrementalCompiler . Simply integrating ccache into gcc does not make sense to me, as nothing will be gained. > If I were to try this, should I work from a tagged version from the > trunk, or is there a branch I should ask to participate into ? I suspect that any such project would be done on a branch, yes. Anybody with write access to the SVN repository is permitted to create a branch. The main requirement is that all contributors to the branch have an appropriate copyright assignment. http://gcc.gnu.org/svnwrite.html . Ian
