1.5 What is PGCC?
PGCC stands for Pentium GCC. The PGCC is a version of the GNU C compiler (gcc),
which provides special optimizations for the Pentium processor.
1.6 Why have a Pentium-optimized gcc?
The basic aim is to have a compiler which generates faster code.
The standard gcc does not take advantage of the capabilities of the Pentium
processor to any great extent, while PGCC does.
