Without having seen the list of affected ports yet, it certainly depends. I don't expect things like apache, gnome, kde, perl or other big mainstream applications to be affected (KDE for example is developed to use -O2 by default - it's what you get if you run just configure without C*FLAGS set), but there are a lot of ports in our collection which are old, x86-centric and never liked any of gcc's 3.x releases very much. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi_at_freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org
