The main advantage of efax over kbuild is that it is completely immune
to unfairness. And it used to have a low variance (in 2.4). Other than
that, access patterns are similar enough to make me suspect that gcc
loads are all quite similar.

You can actually do something like which shouldn't require the
dependencies on the test box:

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.3/cc1plus -fpreprocessed efaxi586.ii \
-quiet -O2 -Wall -fexceptions -frtti -fsigned-char -fno-check-new -o main.s

All you need is the preprocessed code.


I can test a couple of patches I you care, though. Which ones?
