I've got a 164LX and an old AlphaStation 200 4/233 that I've been playing with, and was curious about the use of CCC, CPML, and GCC3[012] to get some better performance. In searching the list archive, I noticed a reply Andrew Gallatin posted (the subject was "Re: make world with compaq compiler"), a couple of months ago, in which he mentioned that CCC wouldn't work to build world at this time (Andrew, does this also include the kernel?). Using Linux on the old AS200, I had some success rebuilding most binaries that had been linked to libm, with cpml. Any opinions how that might work on FreeBSD? Also, I remember reading on axp-list@redhat.com awhile back that GCC 3 would be a significant improvement over 2.95 for the Alpha--what kind of luck have people had using more recent GCC releases? (ie, "generally works okay, but don't even think about complaining here if you have problems", or "forget it--it's not even close") It may be from poor search wording on my part, but I haven't been able to find anything in the archive about this one. I'm asking mainly just out of curiousity, but I thought it would save a significant amount of work in the event that doing any of the above completely hosed my systems.
