Beside the already mentioned sparc64, alpha and amd64, there is
sgimips(64), hppa(64). (If we get this machines supported.) You can get
300 MHz R12k or PA8500 machines for a few hundred EUR. A SGI Octane or
HP9000 B1000 is a much more reliable workhorse than any PeeCee can be...
But this leads to an other discussion. ;-)=20
And even not so fast machines are still very usefull. Slow !=3D useless. =
I
have a MicroVAX 3100 [1] that I use for NetBSD developement. My current
compile host is a IBM RS/6000 43P-100. Really no speed daemon with its
100 MHz PPC 604e compared to "todays standards".

Sorry if this is a FAQ: How to use gcc 3.3? Can it build 1.6-release?
(Last time I played with -cuurent was November.)=20

[1] OK. It is a 3100m95, 83MHz NVAX machine with 128 MB RAM. One of the
fastest VAXen ever build, but still much slower then the 300 MHz
UltraSPARC.=20
