I did not have -O3 in my cflags because
A> most packages have an appropriate -O level set
B> Some packages are sensitive to the optimization flag and will
missbehave if set,
C> letting the optimization level default to whatever should always be
safe.
-> therefore I did not have any optimization set...
So therefore webkit-gtk decides to be a prissy little cunt and throws an
error because it didn't have an optimization flag set, who the hell do
those developers think they are? If you think you should have an
optimization flag SET IT!!! Just provide an override, throwing an error
just because the user was lazy in compiling it is not acceptable. =|

I noticed something similar in Firefox, which from skimming the build
log sets -O3 internally regardless of what the user has set. This is
troubling for two reasons:
1) Gentoo (apparently) has a policy of not allowing packages to mangle
CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS, even with user permission (a useflag of eix was
removed because it set -O3 when enabled).
2) Firefox is the only application I run that crashes, and I don't
know how to disable -O3 to potentially make it more stable.
Cheers,

Masterful command of the English language there Alan. How about you
just pull your head in and cut down on the swearing. It doesn't make you
appear any more knowledgable or give greater importance to your
comments. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if most people on this list
would regard you the same way that you regard webkit-gtk due to your
"potty mouth".
Regards,
Andrew

Let me remind you of what the Real Alan (tm) said:

He really isn't worth spending more time on than it takes you to see who's
writing. You only encourage him.
