Hi, I would like to add some messages into the build stream. Things like: *** Beginning libgcc ... *** *** Beginning libjava ... *** Something easy to locate in a log. Can someone more familiar with the GCC build system make some suggestions. Where to put them? Makefile.{in,am,tpl (tpl???)}? Maybe a code fragment. I can't even get rid of debug information for a 4.3.5 build. I have managed to get a 3.4.6 build down to 200MiB. (I have yet to add ada and obj-c++. How big are they (without -g info)?) System is a PowerMac 8600 with a 750GX processor card running YDL 4.0. Thanks! kevin
