Description Grant Goodyear (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Works fine on my 2.95 system w/ glibc 2.2.5-r5.  Hangs on 
my three tested gcc3.1 systems:

mine: glibc 2.2.5-r5, gcc-3.1-r7.
kabau: glibc-2.2.5-r4, gcc-3.1-r7
lostlogic: glibc-2.2.5-r5, gcc-3.1-r8

I checked the forums; they recommend dropping from -O3 to -O2.  Worked for me.

Kabua says that on his system procmail eventually emerged, but he had to wait
a few minutes at the strstr test.

Added a -O2 at the end of the CFLAGS sed statement.

This is important as flags are inherited inline... the last flag past will 
clobber the first flag... so the -O2 is placed after the ${CFLAGS} to override 
the -O3 in most of the gentoo default flags.

This shouldn't cause any trouble as I don't think there are any architectures 
that use anything less than a -O2...
