GCC 3.0.4 is Out

Posted by michael on from the which-gcc dept.

Isle writes: "GCC 3.0.4 has finally been released. As those who has tried the prereleases will know this version finally compiles a working version of aRts and thus compiles the entire KDE-suite. With the Linux kernel compiling already with the 3.0.3 version, gcc 3.0 now compiles all major projects I know of. Is it finally time to dump that good old 2.95?"

  1. KDE speedup ? by crsm · · Score: 4, Informative
    A new 2.2.5 version of glibc is also out and this is perhaps even better news for KDE users. According to the glibc changelog:
    • optimizations in the dynamic linker. binaries created by recent binutils versions start up quicker due to reduced time spend on relocations.
    If I am reading this correctly, this is the much talked-about fix for the long startup times of KDE programs.

    Yay :-)
