The only potentially -march-related problem I had before was with mozilla and the flag was -march=p2. It would build and install, but would not start. I still have the machine... When I reported this error to gnome@ a year or so ago, I was similarly "yelled" at, that -march setting is not supposed to work... > > make.conf(5) documents it, it should work. Period. > > make.conf(5) documents CFLAGS. What would you like to infer from that fact? In its documentation of CFLAGS, the man-page warns, that levels other than "-O and -O2" are not supported. There is nothing about any risk of processor-specific flags like -march, and rightly so. CPUTYPE's paragraph rightly encourages setting the variable to the actual CPU flavor. Everything except the mozilla port (and I have 222 ports installed on this machine already) built fine. Few things have self-test capabilities, but those, that do (Perl, lcms) passed their tests. > If a compiler optimization produces a bad binary while the same compiler > with the switch off does not (or a different version of the compiler with > the switch does not), the compiler usually *is* to blame.
