We -dont- want to be forced to filter out all of the -f or -m options (have you even -looked- in the manual there? Sheesh) for all or any of the extra flags. doing so would both require us to check all/any combination of the flags, and then manuall edit every ebuild for all those flags. GAH. But of course, we could go through in every build and manually force you to only use -O2 . Its a viable concept and I'm sure people would be happy with it. not. //Spider irate developer -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus! Please copy me into your .signature!
