No idea. I think the default --enable-optimize translated to -Os which definitely used to be broken. For my own builds (i.e. what I'm running) I pass -O2 -march=native so no idea how well/badly the default would work. > I've been building with just plain --enable-optimize for over a year > now with no issue.

Of course, their version of clang might be different (if so, probably older). > > On Tue, Sep 25, 2018 at 3:56 PM, Ken Moffat via blfs-dev > <[email protected]> wrote: And please don't top post. -- Tout est bien, tout va bien, tout va pour le mieux qu'il soit possible -- Candide, de Voltaire (Everything is for the best, in the best of all possible worlds) -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
