  Here is a list of the flags/compilers I have tried on RS/6000's:

        CFLAGS= -O2 -funroll-loops  # Breaks with gcc-2.3.3, AIX-3.2.2
        CFLAGS= -O -qchars=signed # Seems to work for cc on RS/6000 AIX-3.2.2
        CFLAGS= -O2 # Fails with gcc-2.3.3 on AIX-3.2.2
        CFLAGS=  # Seems to work with gcc-2.3.3 on AIX-3.2.2, and cc.
        CFLAGS= -O # seems to work with gcc-2.3.3 on AIX-3.2.2, and cc.
        CFLAGS = -funroll-loops # Seems to work with gcc-2.3.3 on AIX-3.2.2
        CFLAGS = -O -funroll-loops # fails with gcc-2.3.3 on AIX-3.2.2

  I personally use the "CFLAGS = -O" option, which seems to work fine. To
test it, I compiled gnuchess, then let it play "two machines" until a
conclusion. If the "error" appeared, it was usually in the first five or ten
moves.

  As far as xboard, I have compiled every version using X11R5, and it has
always worked fine. The problems I have had are always with gnuchess, and
the only real problem is with which flags to use for the compiler. Well, I 
did have a problem with how time ("-DOLDTIME") was used, but that was user
error :-)

    Cheers,
