At Work, We're Gentoo Freak, and Our make.conf shows it.

Yep, we take our Gentoo workstation seriously and anything less than -O3 will be subject to severe criticism and and the "What? -O2?" look. Yup. Something. Like that. Just take a look at my make.conf file:


USE="X gtk gnome -kde -qt alsa cjk unicode -ldap tiff unicode"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -m3dnow -msse -mfpmath=sse -mmmx -O3 -pipe -fforce-addr -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -frerun-cse-after-loop -frerun-loop-opt -falign-functions=4 -maccumulate-outgoing-args -ffast-math -fprefetch-loop-arrays"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"

PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/usr/portage_tmp
PORTDIR=/usr/portage
DISTDIR=${PORTDIR}/distfiles
PKGDIR=${PORTDIR}/packages
# PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage/spoon
SYNC="rsync://rsync.asia.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
RSYNC_RETRIES="3"
MAKEOPTS="-j3"
AUTOCLEAN="yes"
FEATURES="sandbox ccache buildpkg distcc"
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://203.98.189.18/mirrors/gentoo/ http://164.115.5.2/pub/mirrors/gentoo/"


The CFLAGS, courtesy of our Software Architect, is really an overkill. During emerge -DU world, at least one package broke and can't be compiled.



Just another day at Gentoo-land.

If the person knows what they're doing, they should know that -msse and -m3dnow options are already turned on by -O3 and cputype options (they're already turned on in -O2 and correct cputype).

With those optimization settings, if anything breaks you will not get help and will look real bad when you do post your problems. Not to mention, making it impossible to track your own bugs in your programs. For a neglible speed increase you waste a few days to find out that random exceptions and unexplainable SIGSEVs are due to a broken compiles.

True, but try telling that to a Gentoo freak ;-)

Just yesterday I've experienced a broken compile.
