4 Not exactly true.. many media related upstreams forces "ricing" flags
5 (-fomg-so-fast) on packages, but that does not really mean it's more stable
6 that way... actually, xine-lib proved to be way more stable while *not* using
7 ricing CFLAGS.
8 The actual problem there is that many packages have code that breaks if you
9 remove those flags, so for example xine-lib has to foce a few flags on to
10 work fine (on x86).
