Re: [Monotone-devel] Problems after building monotone

See if you can reproduce at -O0.  -O3 most definitely *is* an extreme
optimization setting[1], and I'm pretty sure we have
-fno-strict-aliasing in the default CFLAGS for a reason.  [I don't
know what it is, though, and I was wondering if it could be taken out
myself...]

[1] Anything other than -O0 or -O2 (and more recently -Os) is tested
orders of magnitude less thoroughly than those few modes.  Also, as a
general piece of advice, -O3 almost always produces code that is both
larger and slower than what you get at -O2, especially with gcc 3.x.
