Yes, it is meant to work. But it is not as guaranteed to work as -O2 simply because the majority of packages are built with -O2. So, there is some potential of things breaking. Of course, these issues should be fixed and I will file a bug report on the problem. I just meant that varying the optimization levels is not something that you can expect to work in 100% of the cases. Adrian -- .''`.
