when trying to compile with the example flags from the faq (-O3 -mcpu=i686 - march=i686 -fforce-addr -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -frerun-cse-after- loop -frerun-loop-opt -malign-functions=4), pam-login refuses to compile. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.add -malign-functions=4 to /etc/make.conf 2.emerge pam-login 3.see =) Actual Results: make stops complaining about -malign-functions being deprecated. pam-login seems to refuse compiling on every warning. -malign-functions is deprecated and should be changed to -falign-functions in the faq.
The FAQ also sais that having optimizations higher than -O3 gives you the risk of having broken packages. You're right though about the -malign-functions.
Changed in cvs.
