kgcc

[crg]

does anybody knows where can I download it`s sources or a package .tgz (for slackware)? whats the difference beetween kgcc and an actual version of gcc?

Just search for 'kgcc' on rpmfind.net!!!
It's not a .tgz, but any recent slack distrib's will install rpm's as well.

As for the difference... not entirely sure.  You might wanna check the GCC homepage (gcc.gnu.org)!  That'd be the first place _I'd_ look, anyway.

Apparently it's based on egcs, and is meant from compiling the kernel (why we need _another_ compiler, I don't know... I still use plain ol' gcc 2.95.3).  Supposedly it produces slightly smaller binaries then GCC as well.
