Satoshi,

I just updated the ilu port to the newest version and tried enabling
-O for compilation. It doesn't work, one binary (used both for ILU
building and usage) segfaults. I double-checked it doesn't segfault
when built without -O.

Also, I cannot easily seperate compilation switches for this specific
program, because compiler switches are controlled from an imake
template file, not within normal Makefiles in subdirectories. Changing
this would open a can of worms and I would fear to break something
that slips trough my tests. 

Proper testing is also questionable because the ILU libraries will be
used for user's programs of all kinds and if the segfault is from a
library we'll seriously screw the user.

For these reasons, I would vote not to use -O for this port at all for
now. I'll report this to the ILU team and try to narrow down the
problematic object file. But this will take more time than I find
acceptable to delay my commit of the new version.

Opinions?

Greetings
	Martin
