Why do you expect problems?
Is it the Gnu-compiler buggy (behaving wrongly when using the -fast option)?
What kind of package depends so deeply on machine level instruction
set to raise problems?
Well, our experience is to use '-fast' in extreme cases. It enables
options that even Apple says they
There are a number of optimizations that cause apple's modified gcc
to create bad code; -Os is safest, most tested, and generally
fastest within a small margin (and is, in fact, what Apple compiles
their stuff with for the OS, at least for Panther). -O2 has bitten
a number of large projects in
What's the point in working the actual way? Is it technical or "political"?
Politicial (sort of).
And also technical.
Before we release a package, we want to test it to guarantee that it
works. What good is a distribution of non-working software?
Ok, but obviously the (probably not so) smart
Wouldn't it be nice to have some configuration option to tell fink
to be either "multi-platform" (conservative) or "machine native"
(eager)?
It may even be on the list of requested features. You aren't the
first one to want this.
Cool! How can We (?) ask to put this in the list?

But REMEMBER, if you're ever doing anything like this, you're competely
on your own : don't ever complain on a list or to a maintainer about any
non-functioning package
And there will be a bunch of them !!!

Fink is explicitly set up to generate identical binaries
regardless of what system it's run on.
Why? Can I change this?
I won't ever run the binaries on any other machine, so they could
be optimized ruthlessly.
You'd have to set this yourself, which can be done (I'm not sure

I'm here again with a question that will look trivial to almost everyone.
I'd like fink run compilers on my G5 with the '-fast' option instead
of the '-g -O2' which goes by default. That would help (for
instance) to produce a slightly faster ffmpeg executable and, in any
case, to take advantage

Sorry if this to lot's of people will seem a dumb question, but I've
tried to look at the archive and didn't find an answer.
I've just changed Mac and so I've just installed a brand new fink. I
had installed (ages ago) on the older Mac both gprolog and smlnj.
When I try to install them on the
