I did not do anything special, because I have no idea how to. I am using a cvs 
snapshot of gcc 3.1 from 20020423, but it is not possible, that such a big 
change has been ade between this version and gcc 3.1 is it? Well, as for 
compilation time I have not noticed any differences in time between my old 
debian with 2.95 and my pld with 3.1. kdebase compiles in 3-4 hrs on both 
systems and it does not differ that much, 1h at best, but I have found that 
apps compiled with gcc3 start faster. I apologize for using the "total bogus" 
(it sounds offensive and I surely did not want to offend you) phrase, what I 
ment was not the numbers (numbers do not lie), I used it in reply to:

What I wanted to say, is that it is not true, that the app startup times will 
rise again. Because they do not., but maybe it is because I am using 
objprelink.
