Taking it away could create nightmares for my Alpha package builds, but defaulting to -O0 might cure a few problems I'm currently having. Just ask Andrew Gallatin about the last problem he diagnosed for me. :) -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
