in my experience compiling stuff with -O3 just means that people on other architectures (where GCC may do odd things) will eventually probably file bugs on your package that can be fixed by moving back to -O2. I've seen this happen on alpha repeatedly, and i seem to recall that sparc and powerpc occasionally have this issue as well. elijah
