I don't recall that the FreeBSD version of egcs is built with Haifa turned on, which is supposed to improve optimizations as the level is increased (more aggressive instruction scheduling.) > With egcs, the '-O' flag doesn't specify the optimization level like it > does in GCC. It specifies the desired stability of the generated code.
