Why does he think that GCC can cause strange crashes or failures? Does 
he have some experience in detecting compilation bugs from GCC? The 
GCC/MinGW developers would be interested to know about sample programs 
that are compiled wrong by GCC, so they can fix it. But if somebody just 
says "it may break" without futher details, he's only spreading FUD.


(Of course, if you start playing with some optimization flags without 
reading the docs first, you'll end up shooting yourself in the foot.)
