I don't recall him saying anything like that. There was an argument
over making the -pipe the default a few months ago, but I was under
the impression that it didn't happen because some people were concerned
about the memory requirements nixing compiles on machines with small
amounts of memory (since cpp, cc1, AND as wind up all running
simultaniously).
The documentation doesn't indicate that -pipe is turned on by default.
If I ktrace a cc command it sure looks like it uses /tmp files when
-pipe is not specified!
So I would say that -pipe is NOT the default.
