Recently, in my XP SP3 machine, building and testing GCC in NTFS are
extremely slow. The just built cc1.exe seems to have some attributes
or security setting  set to wrong values, preventing it from running
efficiently.

The problem will disappear if I build and test it in a FAT32 file system.

I need some help to identify this problem.
