Your current compiler was built with -O3, and you want to rebuild the system using a compiler compiled as -O2, hence the 2 step process.
*Sigh*. I am so tired of this completely wrong information showing up here. 1. It does not matter what -OX flag gcc is compiled with. It has absolutely *zero* effect on the code that gcc *generates*. 2. There is also absolutely no reason to build gcc twice. There is no such thing as a gcc that was built with the "system compiler", because gcc uses itself to build itself. It is called a 3-stage bootstrap, and I suggest you read the gcc documentation first if you want to debate this point. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
