I notice, in the example /etc/make.conf, that the utilities are recommended to be compiled (if you wish to use optimisations), with the "no-strength-reduce" directive. OK, I assume something breaks .. but should everything be compiled with this ? Isn't it enough to add the relevant CFLAGS to that specific thing which breaks ? If it is a generic "gcc (2.63) is broken with optimisation" problem, can/should the kernel be compiled with "-O2 -fno-strength-reduce" or are there other hidden "gotchas" that break it as well over and above the "-O" example given ? michael
