Installing Larry Wall's "rrn", version 44, on the Cube gave me some odd minutes. It turns out that the -O flag to cc overrides the -fwritable-strings flag, at least that's what I observed. So, if that's the case you can't optimize if the programs tries to write into string constant? [Ok, writing into string constants is an bad idea in the first place, but so what? That's the way it's done!] Anyway, I don't like this -- combining the -O and -fwritable-strings should work... Any comments?
