Is there plans to move -current to the latest stable gcc? It was released back in November and includes some significant improvements. I have been stung by the -O2 issue with amd64 now. The ports collection compiles everything with "-O2 -fno-strict-alias -pipe". tcl8.4 is broken when compiled this way. I had to add to my /etc/make.conf my own CFLAGS. With gcc 3.4.3, not only have many bugs been fixed, but the amd64 has been ported to using the DFA processor pipeline description. As far as I understand, DFA is getting all the attention and should provide more support by the gcc community for us amd64 users. Cheers, Sean
