Since I installed Gentoo, I've discovered that a lot of things can
turn out to be a compiler flag issue, especially if you like to use
-Os. For some reason, GCC just does weird things with -Os sometimes. ;)


Which is why Myth, by default, doesn't use aggressive compiler options.

I thought -Os was considered to be the opposite of aggressive?

The manual suggests that it's kind of like -O2 but with any tests that generate bulky code turned off.

Usually the boys trying to knock holes in gentoo pick out the -Os flag and claim that we should all use that rather than -O2/-O3 because it would make things faster...
