Hello. |

I just thought I'd share an idea I had about stage3. I think it would be |
| 4 |
nice if it was usable for systems older then i686 and if it used -O1 or |
| 5 |
-O2 instead of -O3. The reasons are simple: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The majority of the people who actually want to use stage3 do so because |
| 8 |
of the time it takes to build the ENTIRE system from scratch. This |
| 9 |
mainly applies to old PC's, which are obviously older then i686. I've |
| 10 |
seen quite a few people on #gentoo complain that it is a major pain in |
| 11 |
the ass to install Gentoo on an old system. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
As for -O1 / -O2 instead of the default -O3, it's just that some people |
| 14 |
want to be "safe". I've had all kinds of weirnesses and unexplainable |
| 15 |
crashes due to software compiled with -O3 and no other optimisations. |
| 16 |
These problems always went away after a recompile with -O2. And I am |
| 17 |
pretty sure I am not the only one who thinks that way, because many |
| 18 |
people I know got "burned" when utilising heavy opts. |

Sincerely, |
