Any experience with Compaq cxx?

[David van Leeuwen <davl-s.p.a.m@cistron.nl>]

Hi,

I've tried to install  compaq's cxx compiler (6.3.6.10) as an 
alternative for g++, because i need speed in runtime. 

I used cxx-6.3.6.10-12.alpha.rpm from Compaq's website, `alien'd it, 
and `dpkg --install'd it.  Fine.  Hand-edited comp.config. 

Problem is that Compaq's loader wants `--style compaq' option, but 
Debian's binutils 2.9.5.0.31 does not support that. 

Compaq delivers their own patch to binutils, they versioned it 
2.9.1.0.23 (for redhat 6.1), but i don't want to spoil 
Debian's structure (compete with their binutils).  

Any ideas/experience in this field?
