What is a low resource amd64 system? As far as I know there are a few packages compiled with gcc3.4 due to gcc3.3 bugs, but I may be confused on the matter. Perhaps you could make it check for the gcc version on amd64 and switch optimization off if it sees gcc3.3 but not if it is higher than 3.3. I don't know if that is even considered an apropriate thing to do in a Debian package. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
