Hehe. About 1-2 month ago I initiated a litte discussion on=20
kde-core-devel and kde-nonlinux rearding these namespace patches.
The short answer is that it was decided not to put these into CVS.

ACK. If nobody object within the next few days I will test the Makefile
fixes on Linux (I do not expect any problems, but who knows...) and
commit them to CVS.

I think I didn't have any problems with find_if, bind1st and bind2nd but=20
only with the Makefile. I will look that up in my office tomorrow.

Just a wild guess: Maybe the linker links more symbols into the libraries=20
than necessary?

I build with -O2. I don't see much differece in filesizes compared to
your numbers.

To build KDE3 I use a 32 processor, 16 GB RAM Origin. But I am also root
on an O3k (sorry, I do not recall the number of processors right know --
something between 10 and 100).
:-))))))

Multiple processors do not help that much with KDE but I really couldn't
believe how fast QT compiled using all 32 CPUs.  :-))

Hehe. And again we share the same problem...
