I will work on this and I'll send a followup to the BRLCAD guys. -O3 is the bigger worry. Anything higher than -O2 doesn't get a lot of testing (PARTICULARLY on !i386) and the optimizations can sometimes have unintended side effects. (Heck, -O2 has unintended side effects!) I'd try building with just -O and see what you get. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
