What -Os is likely to give you is much better cache locality, which might make the code run that much faster on certain conditions. For Etch and Sid, it is probably a good idea to use -Os instead of -O2 at least on the bigger arches (ia32, ia64, amd64, etc), as we can probably trust gcc not to screw up. > [2] Bear in mind that the compiler used in testing is gcc 4.0.3, while > sarge's default is 3.3.x. You should never use -Os with old gcc AFAIK. It is buggy. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
