Right, I'm referring to the gcc linking bottleneck due to some flaws there (which *could* affect console apps, but generally doesn't). All the linking that a modern desktop needs makes gcc's flaws woefully apparent. I think this might be fixed in gcc 3 though, or with the prelinker...
I don't consider myself ignorant, but I haven't heard of this flaw. Could you please point me to some documentation or webpage explaining this in more depth or something like that? Thank you. I've read the prelinker web page, and the results it claims are impressive. I have not heard it used, however, in any production systems. Any distros using it? Any reasons why not? -- Karol Pietrzak PGP KeyID: 3A1446A0
