I expect you are changing the "-g" to a "-O" on the first "make"
compilation step in compiling gcc which uses the native "cc".  Don't.

Another software person here discovered that it wasn't very hard to find
examples of C code that when compiled using the stock "cc" on sun4-os4
WITH optimization, it produce WRONG code.  We were really impressed with
the code generated with gcc-1.32.  BTW: it was not wrong on the samples
he found failed with "cc -O".
