How to configure gcc in FreeBSD 5.3

it was said (in one very long line):

Hello,

Consult /etc/share/examples/make.conf and the man page for make.conf.
Watch out for the options "-fmemoize-lookups" and "-fsaved-memoized"
because those are for gcc <3.0 and FBSD 5.3 has >3.4.
Perhaps the best option is to look through the gcc manual for
interesting things, but ask before using them because FBSD is picky.

HTH,
