My first experiences with gc were with the freetz project (mips
embedded router) and don't ask me what GCC version.
I will try with gc + trim + cfi later after my current build has finished.

Distro-clang takes much longer here.
Selfmade stage1-only LLVM toolchain compiles here 10% faster.
cfi takes approx. 20% longer.
With trim + gc I suppose it will take much longer.
Let me test.
Will report later.
