While going beyond '-O -pipe' isn't supported, from past discussions it appears that the combination of -march= and -mcpu= is an issue.

tag=. updates /usr/src to -CURRENT. If you're tracking -STABLE,
you don't want that. ("." means "take the HEAD revision.")
/usr/ports doesn't make the distinction between -STABLE and
-CURRENT. You want
ports-all tag=.
to make sure your ports collection is up-to-date.

I guess I forgot to mention originally that things seem to work fine,
even though there are 11 copies of these messages printed, one each
for the following modules:
miibus/ukphy
miibus/xlphy
miibus/nsphy
miibus/mlphy
miibus/tlphy
miibus/rlphy
miibus/amphy
miibus/dcphy
miibus/pnphy
miibus/brgphy
miibus/xmphy
Also, at the prompting of some offline mail, I tried changing the
miibus_load setting in loader.conf to "YES". That was a big mistake. I
got about to the point of the network startup and ended up with a
panic, signal 12. (I didn't capture the whole message, but since it
went away when I changed miibus_load back to "NO", I didn't worry too
much about it.)
Anyway, I'm not *too* worried about it, since things are running, but
it would be interesting to know if there is an "approved" way to avoid
the messages. It almost looks like something is already compiled into
the kernel when it is trying to be loaded as a kernel module. Not
being that familiar with kld modules, I'm probably showing my
ignorance here.
Thanks, Jay, for the pointer to the source file in which the kernel
seems to be printing this. Maybe I'll do some study in the area to see
what conditions it happens under.

Well, last I tried RELENG_4 on the above 5x86 it tried to do busmaster on the IDE interface but timed out and fell back to polled mode. That was better than the first time I tried 4.0-R and it blew up. Later read there was a conflict between ISA ed0 and the new ata code.

Samba interracts with the local filesystem via the normal read()/write()/ open()/close() system calls so doesn't care what the underlying filesystem type is.
