Even if the identification can't be done automatically, it still seems like it would be good to start identifying ports that don't support -O by hand, and having the ports force a correct -O setting. Most ports support -O2 (if not -O3), and it would be nice if people could just put that option in their make.conf and be done with it. -- Jim C.
