I have always used CFLAGS= -O.
I read somewhere that the FBSD team thinks there might be possible problems in floating point if -O2 is used, and that is why I have always used -O (and -pipe). Stability is much more important to me that anything else.
Do you other FreeBSD people use -O2 without any problems. I have read that you do not want to do this on the kernel, and I am pretty sure it defaults to that, but what about the ports?
Now, I am doing this on a pentium4 which means the compiler might be more mature??????????
I would really appreciate your opinions on this. I'm compiling the 7-1 kernel as I type this and might try -O2 for the ports.
