Actually, gcc-3.3 generates faster code on the powerpc than gcc-4.0.
With Apple's move to Intel processors, don't expect future versions
of gcc to improve on powerpc code generation. I use the following
for my powerbook G4 and found it generates code that is 10-15% faster
than the same code generated with gcc-4.0.1.
CPP=gcc-3.3 CC=gcc-3.3 AS=gcc-3.3 LD=gcc-3.3 \
