With Ultrix 2.2 I couldn't get a working qdss server using gcc 1.31.
When starting the server would complain about timing out loading the
color map.  Has anybody gotten it to work?

Also, for people playing with the Purdue speedups; I asked Gene
Spafford what flags he uses with gcc and he recommended

	-finline-functions
	-fstrength-reduce
	-fcombine-regs
	-fomit-frame-pointer
	-m68881

In general, when compiling any of the x11 stuff you should use the
-traditional and -fwritable-strings flags.  In my site.def file I have

#define OptimizedCDebugFlags	-O -traditional -fwritable-strings

and then in the Sun.macros file I have

#define ServerGCCDefines -finline-functions -fstrength-reduce -fcombine-regs -fomit-frame-pointer -m68881

#define ServerDefines SunWindowsDefines ServerGCCDefines -DPURDUE

(Ignoring the SunOSPlatform and OSMajorVersion stuff around
ServerDefines.)
