I just built a version of trunk to use on my "production" working copies, and configured it without maintainer mode. I noticed that it was using '-g -O2' in the CFLAGS, which seems completely nonsensical: debug symbols often refer to stuff that gets optimized away, and just bloats the final executable. Although I don't know if this has any impact on the processor i-cache, I still don't see much reason for using '-g -O2' in non-maintainer mode.
Some voice in the back of my head says we've had this discussion before, but I can't seem to find it. I just wanted to check here before I went and changed things. (And for the record, I hacked my local Makefile to remove '-g' from CFLAGS.) -Hyrum
