You might want to strip this; it's ~4xxkB unstripped, 147kB stripped.

I just finished trying it on my standard test, building a cvs pull of
wxWindows tip. Worked like a charm. It even shaved almost 18 seconds (!)
(;-)) off my build time:
Old make:
$ time make
[...]
real 23m30.751s
user 3m57.150s
sys 3m2.379s
New make (i.e. the one from your link, but stripped):
$ time make
[...]
real 23m13.115s
^^------------ 18 seconds saved (approx. 1%)
user 3m56.285s
sys 3m2.261s
So, I shall take that 18 seconds to also thank you for your great work. ;-)
