From one of our compiler guys in relationship to your original question:

> appropriate'
Fairly new: 3.3-pre only.
Now I wonder:
> Is this a gcc 2.95.3, PPC or Monta Vista limitation?
2.95.3.
> Which compiler will do unrolling 'where appropriate' for 8xx PPC and
> Where can I get a precompiled version?
Nowhere, nor is using it for your kernels necessarily a good idea if
you don't have compiler experience.
> I know Dan is handling the enet stuff, but since you both work
Dan no longer works for MontaVista. (And has not for some time now.)
