------- Comment #3 from andy314 at gmail dot com 2006-09-15 18:13 ------- I am also experiencing extreamly slow link times with GCC 4.1 (shipping with Suse 10.1) as opposed to link times I got with previous versions. The application uses a lot of templates/STL and the final complied binary is 340MB unstripped, 13MB stripped. ld takes 100% CPU for 9 minutes when linking this binary (with gcc 3.2 and ld 2.14.90.0.4 on a Red-Hat linux, it takes 20 sec).
