Not really, because if you have set -pipe in CFLAGS than you can |

How I mentioned earlier with version 2.3.x I had set WANT_MP=true |
| 31 |
and MAKEOPTS=-j2 (and with my first builds -j4 and -j5 but that was pretty |
| 32 |
much useless, because the processes are hinder them self but they don't |
| 33 |
break |
| 34 |
the build) and that works for me. The only problem which occurred was this |

Yeh, of course is that faster but why we use Gentoo? Because |
| 55 |
of the fast binary install? ;-) |

I can only repeat that this doesn't apply to me and I'm pretty sure |
| 69 |
that I'm not the only one who don't use the bin-pkg. |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
Although I conduct all emerges at the console _not_ in X. Perhaps |
| 72 |
that's it. However, every user should do how he/she likes. |
