Lucky Mikhail. I actually don't believe you really missed the tons of broken ports that -march=p4 used to produce with early versions of gcc3 though. > make.conf(5) documents it, it should work.

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. I don't know of course whether this is the case, I couldn't find the beginning of this thread. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCW2UjXhc68WspdLARAuiWAKCcAjYjTR+Yu6RxK12Pt5Y35aO4vQCgkD3l s+/pQE4svBVydBEAtHKq+yE= =3jB5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
