>I believe that it is best to turn the optimizer off for everything.

Why?  I can see it for bitblt code (I think it's turned off for
compiling at least some of the bitblt code in SunView), but almost all
of SunOS is compiled with "-O2" for the Sun-4.

Note also that you needn't turn off *all* optimization; if you just want
to turn off the "global" optimizer ("iropt"), you can use "-O1".
