Hi,
This major annoyance I noticed when using the lame encoder for recoding a messy mp3 I found somewhere in the depths of the internet Wink

. When I had compiled lame once, I had optimized it like hell with these parameters:
"-O3 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strength-reduce -malign-functions=4 -funroll-loops -ffast-math"
But it turned out to be the ultimate overkill. lame totally screwed up spitting error messages like a machine-gun Sad

. recompiling using gcc 3.2 fixed the problem however. I can't understand this issue: Redhat has been fixing the 2.96 series for 2 years now, about 400 patches and still it's awfully buggy. On the other hand, gcc 3.2 is very strict, so compiling may fail more often where the older version used to tolerate errors.
Oh well, why don't I use Windoze? Would be sooo easy, because if something isn't working I could always blame M$ for it Wink

bye
Olliver
