Well, why do we have it enabled at all? If it's to speed compilation, we may as well enable it on other platforms where -pipe works, of which Linux is one.
My gcc 2.95.3 manual says:
-pipe Use pipes rather than temporary files for communi- cation between the various stages of compilation. This fails to work on some systems where the assem- bler cannot read from a pipe; but the GNU assembler has no trouble.
so it looks like we can't use it on all platforms without testing. I will enable it for linux. Do people want to test other platforms?
It should work on any platform that uses the GNU tools, so that means *BSD is in the same boat as Linux.
Does it really speed compilation though? I saw somewhere that it didn't make much difference and might even hurt sometimes.
