-Os is often an even more dangerous optimization level than -O3, I suggest you use -O2 (at least for openoffice). Also get -ffast-math out of your global cflags as it WILL cause programs to function badly. If you read the info snippet on -ffast-math it shows that this is not safe unless you know that it is ok for the program at hand. This can so never safely be a global cflag. I knew of -ffast-math, but not of -Os beeing more dangerous than -O3. I just thought maybe one should add the flags responsible to be filtered out... And - btw, i have not had big problems with this config so far, just Mozilla-apps do not show the Page orientation (Portrait or landscape) image in printer settings, but the ratio buttons are still there, and they are enough. didn't realize anything else so far. Well main problem with these "less than standard" cflags is that they are not widely used. A main testing ground for optimizations are distributions and they normally keep a quite standard flags. They also tend to target older architectures, so newer architectures (like pentium4) and high optimizations can be problematic for certain compiler versions. Please lower your CFLAGS if you want a more stable behaviour, if you find out which one is causing the trouble file a new bug report and I will filter it out, until then: Closing this |
