Nothing except Mozilla has ever caused problems for Mikhail, that was traceable to this switch. make.conf(5) documents it, it should work. Period. And everything does work. Complex things like Perl build fine and pass their self-tests (make test). The entire KDE built and works (although it is lacking self-tests). Time to stop blaming compiler for the software's bug -- and Mozilla has plenty of them. -mi
