Well -pipe isn't technically an optimization... But I was using -O2 and
couldn't boot... A kernel with -O will boot. One thing I noticed when
changing the flags was that the modules built along with your kernel don't
use the compiler flags set in my kernel config file. Has anyone considered
addressing this by moving the module objects etc into the kernel build
directory? Seems to me it would make maintaining multiple kernels on a
single machine even easier.
