Hi there, I read that MontaVista released a 3.0 with gcc 3.2. Does it make sense to switch from 2.95.3/4 to gcc 3.2 for MPC8xx PowerPC? Are there any big advantages when building u-boot, kernel, drivers, busybox and multithreaded applications? Thanks a million, Steven ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.

I don't know about using gcc 3.2 on PPC but on X86 its wonderful. 3.2.X (mabey even 3.1.x) has two features called profile-arcs and branch-probabilities that can boost speed quite a bit. Read the gcc man page on how to use these options. Good Luck Conn -- ***************************************************************** If you live at home long enough, your parents will move out.
