Especially that > the stacked build makes it impossible to use distcc at least partially. Bootstrapping makes distcc impossible, and you can't bootstrap these days without building C and C++. Even if you're not bootstrapping, the back and middle ends are shared. You have to build them to build the front-ends. Maybe you could cut out a couple of the target libraries, so you're really not gaining much. If the build times really get to you then you could try something like: GCC_MAKE_TARGET="all" EXTRA_ECONF="--disable-bootstrap" \ emerge -av1 sys-devel/gcc:4.8 distcc should work for most of the build (the target libs must be built with the just-built compiler so that can't be distributed). Anyways, assuming we can't split out fortran, would you be for or against enabling it by default? I'm good either way. -- Ryan Hill psn: dirtyepic_sk gcc-porting/toolchain/wxwidgets @ gentoo.org 47C3 6D62 4864 0E49 8E9E 7F92 ED38 BD49 957A 8463
