yes, works fine.

No, I'm not. check the gcc man page.. maybe gcc 3.4 has one?

gcc will never be tuned anywhere close to Intel's compilers for speed,
not much anyone can do about that. 


some other hints:

Rumor has it that 'make -j 3' makes the compile run faster on dual
processors.. 


CFLAGS="-g -march=pentium4 -Wall" ./configure  ...

gives a GRASS built with clues for a debugger; if you want something
built for speed, try:

CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -Wall" LDFLAGS="-s" ./configure  ...
