He wrote: Add -pipe to default CFLAGS. The optimization it provides is cheap and does not require any special action on the part of the user to take advantage of it. It might not be that cheap anymore with gcc 4.2 being the default compiler now, known to be somewhat more RAM- hungry than its predecessors. However, I still think that -pipe should be kept on by default, because it will help on the vast majority of machines. Old machines with very little RAM need some special-tuning anyway, so it's reasonable to give them special CFLAGS that don't contain -pipe. (Apart from that I would recommend to use a faster and sufficiently RAM-equipped machine for building and then perform only the install on the smaller machine, or install directly on its harddisk by plugging it into the faster machine temporarily. That's how I used to update an old 486SX notebook that had only 4 MB RAM and no network except SLIP/PLIP.) YMMV, of course. Please take the above only as my personal opinion on the matter.

7.0BETA4 /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/cc_int Thrashes
Has 7.0-BETA4 perhaps wrongly got a -pipe in the .mk macros ?
Please someone with generic 7.0BETA4 check with eg:
A single line /etc/make.conf
CFLAGS += -Dzonk=bla
~/tmp/Makefile
tst:
@echo XX ${CFLAGS} YY
make tst
XX -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -Dzonk=bla YY
Is pipe coming from generic mk/ ?
Or from my local hacked version ?
Could someone test please:
My /usr/src is no longer generic, on a very slow CPU, SLIP
linked, building rest of src/ I'm about to go away,
will miss the 7-RELEASE date, but -pipe should not be in
generic, needs to be a host dependent choice. )
Thanks

Then I got desperate

mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /var/tmp/SWAP
swapon /dev/md0
I've hashed out cc in src/gnu/usr.bin/Makefile to nurse it on.

Error found. I will send-pr. Patch below stored in :

pipe should not be on by default as
- It cripples machines with limited memory.
- Pipe can be enabled by any memory rich host in /etc/make.conf with:
CFLAGS += -pipe
- Man cc lists how to turn it on but not off.
- Man cc also notes assembler problems
