Jumping back in here since this happens to be the only message on the thread I hadn't read yet, so showing. I decided to try -ftree-vectorize and see how it goes. Haven't merged much of anything with it yet, but... Meanwhile, I stumbled across my first failure with -combine. The latest (~amd64) logrotate ebuild (logrotate-3.7.2) fails with it, in the compile phase of course, with an error to the effect of too many files passed to cc1 or some such. I don't know enough about gcc to know what that means in terms of gcc module, but I do know removing -combine from CFLAGS allowed it to merge just fine. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
