I'm using pgcc 2.95.3 on a red hat 6.1 linux pentium3 box.

My kernel runs fine with -O6 -fno-peep-spills -fno-exceptions
-fomit-frame-pointer -march=pentiumpro.

XFree86 4.0 (on my nvidia tnt2) runs fine with -O2 -march=pentiumpro
-fno-peep-spills -fno-omit-frame-pointer -fno-exceptions except that I
had to go thru /etc/X11 and change any script that started with
#!/bin/bash to #!/bin/sh. If anyone else can explain what i've done
wrong here i'd appreciate it.

If I use -O3, -O4, -O5 or -O6 in the above setting then XFree86 will
fail in small ways. gdm will run ok with bugs but enlightenment will
freeze. Im continuing to narrow down which compiler flag is causing the
problem.
