16 You can't get beat...
17
18 CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-unwind-tables -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables"
19
20 That's what I use, except for cross-compiling. For an explanation of
21 the "unwind" flags, see thread...
22 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.busybox/36695 from the busybox
23 mailing list. And don't forget CPU_FLAGS_X86. Emerge and run
24 app-portage/cpuinfo2cpuflags as soon as you can during the install
25 process. I believe that's right after running "eselect profile". And
26 then run "emerge system && emerge world". It's a lot quicker when you
27 don't have very much installed on the machine.
