 greater than -O2 may not be wise.  Similarly, if you choose to use gcc-2.95.x
 or derivatives, be sure not to use -fstrict-aliasing (which, depending on
 your version of gcc 2.95.x, may necessitate using -fno-strict-aliasing).
+On the other hand, -O0 will cause your build to fail because inline

I can wait - it'll eventually make it into the main
branch when the linuxppc work gets merged, right?

If you send it to them, and they accept it, yes, it will get back in the
linuxppc trees.  I don't intend on committing it to the PPC trees
however.  It's a generic documentation thing, not a PPC-specific thing.

Tom, Ben and I will send off stuff in arch/ppc, include/asm-ppc, and
some of the PPC-specific drivers to Marcelo or Linus.  For other
stuff, like this documentation change, the people who want the change
need to send the patch to Marcelo, Linus, or the appropriate driver or
subsystem maintainer.

In particular, the top-level Makefile in linuxppc_2_4_devel has an
extra line in the TAGS target.  I'm not going to send this in; someone
who wants this change to go in should take on the job of submitting it
to Marcelo (or Linus) and the linux-kernel mailing list.  It may take
multiple attempts. :)

Paul.
