Now, I for one would be -VERY- interested in seeing same system comparsion between the flags: -Os -O2 and -O3 (on the same -march= ) for a single system. You can get a gist of this (not necessarily benchmarks, but stability results) in the CFLags central thread. It took me the better part

Gezim, Someone else can answer this better, but don't worry. Distros seem to change some file locations. For typical local installs I've seen stuff default to /usr/local while other things like to install to /opt. I've also seen some ebuilds from gentoo install things into /opt whereas the source
