I am newish to djgpp/gcc, being familiar to Borland C++. Whilst I
think that the djgpp compiler is great, I would like to know why it is
so slow to compile and link a program compared to Borland. I mean MUCH
slower. Is there some way of speeding it up ? (no.. I already have a
Pentium). If there isn't, I guess I'll just have to treat compiles as a
coffee-break (nice idea...), but there may be some turbo option I've
missed.

While I'm here, even though it's not relevent to the current subject,
how do I get gdb to work? I have a "gdb" and a "gdb-dpmi" file in my
"bin" directory. They are not .exe files and do not seem to work with
go32 either.

Thanks!
