OTOH, NetBSD is using egcs and compiling everything (including the kernel) with -O2 on all ports; would it be that hard to get the FreeBSD system source to compile correctly with that optimization level on egcs? mkb To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
