    Dear God, No!

    All idiotic zealtory of Gentoo with all the, well, mindless zealotry of Mac! A winning combination!

    Doesn't anyone know the right compiler flags? Does O4 work on a Mac?! AWESOME! I'm going to go recompile my Gentoo in celebration of this huge day.

    See ya in 6 months.

    Compiling everything will take more time than you will ever save by adding a few optimizations!

    Sorry, but my time is valuable

    Your time is valuable, but the computer's time is not. I recommend you use a program called "gcc" to compile, instead of manually translating C into machine language by hand. What this will allow you to do, is have the computer do all this compiling work, while you can do anything you want (write a program, sleep, watch a movie, drink beer, hang out under the escalator at the mall and try to look up girls' dresses, send radio messages to the UFOs to try to get them to return Elvis -- almost anything!), without it taking any of your time.

    Linux has changed a lot since 1957. I'm tellin' ya, these fully automated compilers are the shit!!
