   Ok, I'll try w/ this flags. Do you know if there is
   some other options for Sparc and UltraSparc
   architecture ?
   Because, POV's configure script doesn't do good stuffs
   w/ architecture other than i86 (it's the authore first
   trial w/ configure).
   For the moment, I use following option :
   
   -O3 -finline-functions -ffast-math
   -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops
   -fexpensive-optimizations -Wno-multichar

(note that both -finline-functions and -fexpensive-optimisations
are enabled by default at -O3.)


there are several options.  for sparc, it depends on the exact
cpu.  for the SS5/110, that's a microsparcII cpu... hmm there
appears to be no special flags for that, just -mv8.  for the
ultra5, try "-mcpu=ultrasparc -mtune=ultrasparc"
