In all this discussion about tmpfs, there has been no mention of the |
| 9 |
gcc "-pipe" option, which instructs the compiler to use RAM instead |
| 10 |
creating temporary files. Since gcc is the workhorse of the emerge |
| 11 |
process, it would seem that the "-pipe" option should accomplish |
| 12 |
results close to that observed with tmpfs. |
