Well, I'm sure we all have different preferences, but, I've been running "-O3" on 6 systems (PIII, (2)P4, P4 w/ HT, and (2)Athlons) with no problems for 8 months. My Athlons use: CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" stability has been rock solid... However I've heard from one 'very technical friend' who runs 12 different BSD and Linux distros on all sorts of processors, that distcc has some subtle, hard to pin-down issues between different architectures, including but not limited to AMD's 64 bit offerings.
