Hi,
I'm about to undertake the whole "linux from scratch" method of
installing linux and wanted a little advice. Besides wanting to learn
more about linux one of my motivations is to optimize my system as much as
possible. To that end I was hoping to use gcc 3.1. But I've been told
that this maybe isn't a good idea since applications won't build with 3.1.
So is that true? Or will I have no problems using gcc 3.1?
Also I was wondering what options I should give the compiler. Will -O3
be ok or will that make my system unstable? Are there any other options I
should consider using?
Thanks in advance,
Glen
