With later versions of gcc, --enable-single-host is not so bad.  (I  
did a *lot* of benchmarking with Gambit-generated C files and the gcc  
developers were responsive.)  And leaving it off absolutely *kills*  
performance for many programs.

If you wanted to reduce the resources needed to compile Gambit, you  
might be better off setting

[lindv2:~/Desktop] lucier% diff -p  /usr/local/Gambit-C/include/ 
gambit.h gambit.h

+ #define ___OPTIMIZE_SPACE
   #ifdef ___OPTIMIZE_TIME
   #ifdef ___OPTIMIZE_SPACE
   @error "Define either ___OPTIMIZE_TIME or ___OPTIMIZE_SPACE"

and seeing how that goes.
