Hallole Gerrit,
I was not trying to build gcc & kin, but rather just use it to build the
suite of software
I've been working on over the years.
There was one hickup with g++ under heavy duty optimization, for which I
filed a bug report
(https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=954656&group_id=2435&atid=102435).
Danny Smith said he fixed the problem and send the patch back to the
mainstream gcc folks.
Performancewise I had mixed success (compared with executables compiled
under gcc 3.3.1 cygwin -mno-cygwin).
Some are significantly slower, some are significantly faster (+/- 50%) than
under 3.3.1.
There were many issues, though, I had to deal with in order to be able to
compile the code under mingw in the first place (see the posts I made around
5th of
may 2004). If you are interested in details of the workarounds, let me know!
grusel,
H.
p.s. in my university days I knew a Frank Haase from Berlin; are you related
to him?
