I have (with some help from you awesome GNU-beasts, as well as a
very patient friend) succeeded in preparing some binaries with level
2 optimization.

My friend Bill suggested to remove the -g switch and I figured that the
O2 would be pretty funky; but I didn't realize how long it would take.

Anyhow, this was done on an ISC system with virgin /usr/include/*.h
files (ie, no back-alley operations or changes) and the system compiler.
I am not sure if this makes any difference, but it may be pertinent.

I commented out some #include <memory.h> and #include <string.h> after
the IFDEF USG construct in cp-xref.c and got a viciously savagely
arousing compile. Better than caffiene.

I also ran the fix-includes section.

Now my question. Are the fruits of my labours of any use to anyone? Should
to return to anonymity, or get some tar/cpio files out to a larger audience?

More than once, I've heard complaints from people about building gcc on
ISC. They were more than likely neophytes like me who were in awe of the
almighty makefile, and were afraid to take a scalpel to it. Suffice it
to say I have more hair on my chest now. More for the naaaasty SO to run
her fingers through. :-)
