I have -02 in my make.conf's MAKEOPTS. When I was emerging dev-python/pygame I noticed lines like this: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -shared -Wl,-O1 -O2 -pipe build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.6/src/_numericsurfarray.o -L/usr/lib64 -lSDL -lpthread -lpython2.6 -o build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.6/pygame/_numericsurfarray.so It's passing -01 and -02 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge pygame 2. 3. Expected Results: Either use just -02 or complain about it and use -01. $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.6.13 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0, gcc-4.3.2, glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2, 2.6.30-gentoo-r4 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r4-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_T5670_@_1.80GHz-with-gentoo-1.12.11.1 Timestamp of tree: Wed, 19 Aug 2009 10:30:20 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-lang/python: 2.5.4-r3, 2.6.2-r1, 3.1.1 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.arcticnetwork.ca/ http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/gentoo-distfiles/ http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/linux/gentoo http://mirrors.cs.wmich.edu/gentoo http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/pub/gentoo/ " LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en_US en" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acl alsa amd64 berkdb bzip2 cli cracklib crypt cups curl dbus dell dri emacs fortran freetype gdbm glut gpm gstreamer hal iconv ipv6 isdnlog jpeg kde laptop libffi mmx mp3 mudflap multilib mysql ncurses networkmanager nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp pam pcre perl phonon png pppd python qt4 readline reflection sdl session spl sql sqlite sse sse2 ssl svg sysfs tcpd threads tiff truetype unicode vorbis webkit xcomposite xft xorg xulrunner zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en_US en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="vga intel" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
"-Wl,-O1" is not the same as "-O1": -O1 is a flag for the compiler to enable certain optimizations; -Wl,-O1 is a flag for the *linker* to optimize linker output. "-Wl," is a prefix that tells the compiler to pass the rest of the argument unchanged to the linker, except that embedded commas become spaces. From ld.info: `-O LEVEL' If LEVEL is a numeric values greater than zero `ld' optimizes the output. This might take significantly longer and therefore probably should only be enabled for the final binary. At the moment this option only affects ELF shared library generation. Future releases of the linker may make more use of this option. Also currently there is no difference in the linker's behaviour for different non-zero values of this option. Again this may change with future releases. Closing as RESO:INVA as this is not a bug.
