Do not use it. portupgrade won't build with it, cause ruby hates -fomit-frame-pointer. I would just do a fresh binary install. 6.0 is quite an amazing release... The speed is remarkable. My machine goes way faster than it did before. I am using the following CFLAGS successfully with xorg and XFCE4: CFLAGS=3D-O2 -pipe -ffast-math CPUTYPE=3Dp4 I can't speak to building FreeBSD from source. I build all my ports from source, but didn't bother building the world from source...
