So, to close the loop for other people: if you are compiling something on the "edge" of a dependancy tree, there's nothing particularly bad about skipping the -xnolibmopt for compiles, if you dont mind adding a dep on the sun math library. The issues come, when you are packaging up a LIBRARY... if it depends on -lsunmath, then everything else that uses that library, also has to link with -lsunmath, usually. So unless it provides a big performance boost, better to skip the -lsunmath dependancy. _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers
