Igor Schein on Mon, 21 Jun 1999 15:44:41 -0400   gcc performance
I'm using gcc/Solaris WorkShop-5.0 assembler combination to
build PARI.  I was wondering how the performance would be
effected if I used gcc/GNU binutils assembler (gas) combination.
If any1 has any experience or insight to share on this subject,
I'd greatly appreciate it.  Having observed a fairly significant
performance difference ( which is also documented somewhere in
the PARI distribution ) between WorkShop cc and gcc, I began
wondering if the same will hold for assembler stage.
