Jumping back in here since this happens to be the only message on the |
| 15 |
thread I hadn't read yet, so showing. |

I decided to try -ftree-vectorize and see how it goes. Haven't merged |
| 18 |
much of anything with it yet, but... |

Meanwhile, I stumbled across my first failure with -combine. The latest |
| 21 |
(~amd64) logrotate ebuild (logrotate-3.7.2) fails with it, in the compile |
| 22 |
phase of course, with an error to the effect of too many files passed to |
| 23 |
cc1 or some such. I don't know enough about gcc to know what that means |
| 24 |
in terms of gcc module, but I do know removing -combine from CFLAGS allowed |
| 25 |
it to merge just fine. |
