Out of curiosity, are those ports like to have equivalents in Gentoo's 
"portage" system?  Those guys love to build with -O310 -fomit-instructions 
but their stuff seems to pretty much work.  Why do we seem to have so many 
problems with (presumably?) the same software on our system?

IANA compiler designer so I don't really understand a lot of the technical 
details, but is this something that can be reasonably understood by 
somewhat experienced application programmers?
