With GCC, the best version seems to be 2.95. You can install it
easily, without overwriting your default compiler, as described here:
http://cristal.inria.fr/ecdl/ecdl-list/0013.html
Flags that I recommend are:
-O2 or -O3
-fomit-frame-pointer
-unroll-loops
-expensive-optimizations
If MMX is available use -DMMX, otherwise try -DPROD=1 or 2, 3, 4, or 5.
With the 64-bit code you can add -freg-struct-return.
You might also try a flag to produce code specifically for your chip,
such as -march=pentiumpro.

I have put RPMs and binaries for Sparc Linux on the Web site. These
were made by Eddie C. Dost. There are both 32-bit and 64-bit versions
and the RPM picks the right one by checking if "uname -m" returns "sparc64".
I would like to thank Eddie and also Wil Harris, Arnaud Gomes-do-Vale
and Xavier Hienne who all sent RPMs with much improved .spec files.
Hopefully I will be able to put up new and improved RPMs for v1.1.1 soon.
Bye,
Rob.
