[gentoo-user] Should I be using -fomit-frame-pointer?

[Steve Juranich]

I've been using gentoo now for a little more than a week (9d 20h 24m, to 
be exact), and I'm pretty happy with the gains in speed over Debian 
(Athlon XP 2100).

I just found out today about the -fomit-frame-pointer flag, and I was 
wondering if it's really worth the time and effort of rebuilding my 
entire system to use that flag?

Also, if I do decide to rebuild my entire system, I'd need to (if I 
understand correctly):

1) emerge glibc (recompile glibc with the new -fomit-frame-pointer flag)
2) emerge -e world (recompile everything else with the new version of 
glibc).

Does this sound about right?

Like I said, I'm pretty new to this, so any help will be greatly 
appreciated.

Thanks.
