Tom;
Not sure how to tell. I didn't explicitly specify anything like this
during the ./configure step of install. Poking around in the souce
directory, I pulled this out of config.cache ...
configure:1243: checking whether the C compiler (gcc -O9 -funroll-loops
-ffast-math -malign-double -mcpu=pentiumpro -march=pentiumpro
-fomit-frame-pointer -fno-exceptions ) works
Note, I didn't use the postgresql that came with Slackware; I downloaded
it from the postgres web site.
