Well... As I need a TCP stack, it's hard to  follow the FAQ to the
letter.

Yes I do, and both take 2-3 s on a pretty fast machinve (PII 450MHz,
112MiB memory for DJGPP).

How exact do you want it? I'm a little uncertain about the exact
version but it's ~djlsr203.zip (can't check that now). In
src/makefile.def you change "AR = ar" to "AR = redir -t ar". Make it
and check the time reported of "redir -t ar q ./../../lib/libc.a
@makefile.rf id_c.o".


Right,
