They can install the package. :) * I think they want still a working ports mechanism. * We shoudn't mix ports collection and /usr/src tree, or ?! But I don't think that justifies the cost of having two copies of the source. (The gcc-2.7.2 tarball is almost 7 megs!) * Besides that, I don't have a concrete idea, how to bring in the * pgcc patches without patching gcc in contrib ... And this is * certainly not wanted. Make a copy of contrib/gcc under work/? :) * Integrating the pentium optimization patches into the * default compiler would be an interesting thing. * * But how do the others think about this ... Would that have a * negative impact on stability ?! One big jump to 2.7.2.1 as default * compiler has been made ... and now another big one to get Pentium * optimized code ?! Hmmmm... * * If everything would be running fine after hacking gcc I'd say, * wow, yes, immediately, nice feature .... since I have a Pentium, too ;) * * Is there someone, who could fiddle the patches in if the others * agree ? What would the task be ?! Simply patching gcc-2.7.2.1 * with the pgcc patches and doing a commit after that or trickier ? I believe John Dyson has been using P5-optimized gcc for quite a while....
