Preferably with a configure flag then. The tpike is known to work. The system pike isn't.

So, I'm compiling with icc. Problem is that with icc, linking is slow when you have IPO enabled since it performs multi-file optimizations. Pike will ALWAYS create a tpike binary even though there is a working Pike installed (so that step is unnecessary). It adds a significant time to the compilation (several minutes I'd guess).
How about, if possible, use the system-installed Pike to run the generation of peep.c etc, skipping the redundant 'tpike' step. I can understand why there's been no optimizations done here since in general it doesn't take a whole lot of time.
