Another question, somewhat related: I saw a post re using "LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" in the make.conf file. However, the gentoo devs seem to go a little mad whenever they run into this idea, so I quit that practice. I'm a little unclear on a) what exactly that does and b) why it's harmful. The man page for ld just says that -O<greater than zero> "optimizes the output". -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
