The system runs the latest versions of squid and sendmail, and acts as a secondary DNS, pop and tac server. I changed /etc/make.conf to build everything (utilities, libraries and O/S) using -O2 -m486 as well as -pipe. All programs and libraries are slightly larger (about 10%) as expected by the -O2 but the system seem to run faster. This is not a stressed system, but everything has been stable for over 2 weeks now. Tried compiling sendmail under 2.8 which has support for Pentium and Pentium Pro options but it failed to compile because gcc barfed on conf.h. I didn't push it further as there is a lot of elf work going on at present, and running 2 compilers in parallel isn't worth the pain.
