I am using a command line GCC to do the final linking of my

there a way to speed it up by using some option like prelinking I
don't care about the link time, it is the end user load time that I
want to minimize.
There's prebinding, but it has no real effect in 10.3.4 and later, and
was deprecated in Tiger. What hardware are you using? I've found that
OS X only loads programs slowly when either Rosetta is being used, or
the user is using a < 500 MHz G3 or G4 running an obsolete version of
the OS... I've certainly never noticed much slowness in launching CPU-
native apps on hardware released in the last several years.
