Comment(by drkirkby):

 Replying to [comment:37 jdemeyer]:
 > I think it's most important to explain '''why''' we use `-O2`.  Since
 there is a good reason to use `-O2`, of course one should not randomly
 increase the `-O` level.

 But my point is that this package does appear to have had the optimisation
 randomly increased several times, which for Singular is a particularly bad
 idea, as it has caused numerous problems. Your wording gives no hint of
 the dangers. We are not being compatible for the sake of it - we are doing
 so as it is dangerous to do otherwise.
