/etc/make.conf on most of my 6.1 machines contains (in part) this: CFLAGS= -O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing COPTFLAGS= -O2 -pipe I no longer remember exactly why, but at some point I must have understood or assumed that to be the recommendation. Just to be completely clear, are you saying that this CFLAGS= -O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing COPTFLAGS= -O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing would be better in the general case? _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
