I can say that building world with O3 gaves me a nearly unusable system. config complained about unknown options in my file and the compiler complained about silly things even for simple test programms. A new buldworld was not possible as the compiler did not work properly. After I exchanged cc1 and libc.so I was able to buildworld again with default parameters using the same source. That was on a PC164. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
