The compiler flags officially supported within the project are: CFLAGS='-O -pipe' COPTFLAGS='-O -pipe' More aggressive optimizations may be possible, but you're on your own trying to get support later if something goes wrong, whether or not it's related to the optimizations. :-) > Should I keep these flags set all the time, so that all "make"s can be > done with the options, or are they just necessary when doing a make > world? And is it bad form to make some things with the options and > other things without? It is common practise to leave CFLAGS and COPTFLAGS defined as above in /etc/make.conf at all times. Ciao, Sheldon.
