gcc4ti and TiEmu

Yay, I got gcc4ti compiled and installed on my PowerMac. It wasn't as painful as I thought it might be (though it required running as root just to compile). It did take quite awhile to finish, since this machine runs at only 400 MHz...

Anyway, I also have TiEmu running on this box; I compiled that a few months ago. So what this all means is that I can continue writing Punix!

I was also pleasantly surprised to see that TiEmu can run at full speed at about 40% CPU usage on my PowerMac:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND           
13205 christop  20   0 60892  31m  19m R 39.7  3.1   3:52.70 tiemu

On my 300 MHz Pentium II laptop, TiEmu runs at about one-fifth of full speed. Go PowerPC!
