I am now doing all of my compiles on my Sequent machine.  Sending 6 486
processors
after the problem in parallel really makes things fly.  I have GCC 2.7.2
on this 
machine and the related tools.  If this is not fast enough, I guess I
can steal time
on one of the company machines that have 22 166Mhz pentiums and things
would get 
done much faster ;-)  My own humble little machine is fast enought
though.
