Last night I did an: emerge --update --deep world
Reviewing logs this morning I find in 3125-glibc-2.3.5-r1.log the following: QA Notice: /usr/lib/misc/glibc/pt_chown is setXid, dynamically linked and using lazy bindings. This combination is generally discouraged. Try: CFLAGS='-Wl,-z,now' emerge glibc I can see a couple of problems with this: 1.) Wouldn't that compile glibc without any optimization settings? So what I would rather do is merge the suggestion with my default CFLAGS. Resulting in: CFLAGS='-O3 -march=athlon-xp -Wl,-z,now' emerge glibc Does this seem reasonable? 2.) My impression of how portage works is that the next time glibc is updated it will compile with the default again. Is there some place to set this on a permanent basis?
