I know this question is somewhat vague, but that's how it was presented to me so that's what I have to start with. I've been asked to find a way to make gcc and the binutils faster in Windows ( Cygwin ). Before I get down to the level of profiling the code I thought I'd ask if there are any compile time options I may not be aware of that might speed the works up a little. For the record I've already sent this question to the binutils mailing list as well. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
