how is gcc-4.0.2-r1

[Cinder6]

I am tempted to try out gcc-4.0.2-r1, but I want to know if it is worth it first.

Specifically, do packages still break a lot with it? Are binaries still slower? Am I crazy?

Hi,

I would be interested in an answer too.

Thanks.

Binaries compiled with gcc 4 are usually slightly slower but there is also cases where they are faster. My system is built with gcc 4.0.2-r1 (custom overlay with additional visibility fixes) and it works great. And benchmark results in ubench and lmbench are now higher than they where when using gcc 3.4.

Alright, I'm going to make a second installation with gcc4
