Hi ,
This post is for djjgpp222 port for the PC.  
This 486 with 4M memory is terrible compiling .c files even a few pages long
(about 2 to 3 minutes).  If I make a .i file then make a .s file the resulting
.o file takes 5 seconds to create using:
 	gcc -c filename.s

if I use: 
	gcc -c filename.c 

the .o file is created fine but the hard drive
light (fast drive too) is always on and very busy.  I dont' understand what
it could be doing.  I would think 4M of memory should be enough for a small
program to compile without using disk swaps.  
I ported my large program(8000 lines) from the Borland 3.1C++  
(to get away from the terrible memory management)  
where it only takes less than a minute to make 
a .exe but  gcc takes 30 minutes to make a.out!
Any PC people out there suffering with this too?
