Those use also to have an insane amount of custom cflags, ldflags and the like. Of course, for a ricer is also important to run ~arch for most packages, except for system packages and the toolchaing, where they usually prefer to use something like gcc-7.0_alpha1 releases (joking, of course). It somewhat a word play, with "racer", like if all these so-called "optimizations" made your box go at the speed of light :P You can find a funny thread about ricers and "ricing" in general in the gentoo forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-309752-highlight-ricer.html Jesús. -- [email protected] mailing list
