I agree with the first half of this entirely. There are certianly loads of people out there who know way more than me about building and using gcc tools. The second part was certianly not true at the time. If something was done to gcc 3 to make non-EGCS executables work with EGCS gprof executables, then I guess its not an issue any more. But a year ago the EGCS gprof would *not* work with my gnat-built exes on Windows. I found (after much searching) a non-EGCS gprof, and that worked much better (but still not perfectly). -- T.E.D.
