(directed more at the original poster, despite replying to David)
The www/squid* ports do a great job of using the system CFLAGS.
And yes, there is an explicit warning in /etc/defaults/make.conf
(which you should read, before setting your system-wide CFLAGS in
/etc/make.conf) that using -O2 can trigger bugs.
So.. why did you not use the port? :)
And yes, -O2 bugs in gcc are a known issue.. :(
G'luck,
Peter
