Message-ID: <1994Feb16.103448.6398@paramount.nikhefk.nikhef.nl> Organization: NIKHEFK Date: Wed, 16 Feb 1994 10:34:48 GMT Lines: 4 When rebuilding the 'world' I noticed that the makefiles use -O instead of the better optimizing -O2. Is there a reason not to use the better optimization? I think in gcc 2.4.5 the -O2 optimizer is reliable.
