There's nothing we can do to make a single compilation of a single file go faster. However, that's not the usual problem. I wonder why your compilation is taking so long. It might be a bug in gcc. Perhaps we could look at a test case. Andrew. -- Red Hat UK Ltd, Amberley Place, 107-111 Peascod Street, Windsor, Berkshire, SL4 1TE, UK Registered in England and Wales No. 3798903
