   Done - KDE desktop running with GCC 4.3.

   Everything is done.  I have a fully working KDE desktop, and the whole   
   system was compiled with GCC 4.3.0, CFLAGS="-O2 -march=core2   
   -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" and LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed".   
      
   One thing didn't compile though: kde-base/arts (an "undefined   
   identifier" error, due to a missing #include).  So I had to do   
   USE="-arts" for now.   
      
   End-result: it's *damn* fast.  Well, at least compared to openSUSE 10.3.   
     No, it's not 5% faster.  Everything seems more like 100% faster.   
   Well, perhaps openSUSE is "bloated", not sure.  But anyway, I must say   
   I'm more than just impressed.  "startx" fires up KDE almost in an   
   instant.  Every application starts immediately.  This is insane :D   
      
   PS:   
   It took me 2 days to get there though :P
