Hi Now that gcc-3.4.4 is out, thought I'd try it with gcc-20050331. Using gcc-3.4.3.diff, got these rejects: gcc.c.rej varasm.c.rej version.c.rej That last one I needed to patch version.c manualy so gcc would compile. After I did it, wondered if it might be beter to patch gpc instead? Since have 2 cpu's, tried "make -j3 bootstrap". The c part ran ok, it quit in the rts with an error message. "make bootstrap" & installed with no problem: Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/specs Configured with: ../gcc-3.4.4/configure --enable-languages=c,c++,pascal Thread model: posix gpc version 20050331, based on gcc-3.4.4 Ran gpc's test using gcc-3.3.5 and then gcc-3.4.4, got one new fail: avo7.pas And ran the tests with "time make": gcc-3.3.5 gcc-3.4.4 ---------- ---------- real 22m24.452s 20m49.896s user 11m40.872s 10m52.583s system 10m25.648s 9m41.803s And that's it Russ
