I'm surprised it runs at all. pgcc simply doesn't work very well. It
introduces lots of subtle bugs into complex programs. I would never
compile the kernel or an X server with it. egcs is much better. In
addition, not everyone has a Pentium. pgcc will produce a slowdown on
AMD, Cyrix, 486, and Pentium pro/II at least equal to the Pentium
speedups.
