Memcached doesn’t compile with -O3

Most of the ports in FreeBSD compile just fine with -O3, and why not use it? Not like compile time is a real constraint and one of the features of FreeBSD is that it is actually optimized for the hardware it runs on, rather than being generic, opaque code.

But memcached don’t play that game. The easy thing to do is modify /etc/make.conf on error, then fix it back after recompiling, but that gets tedious. The following edit to /etc/make.conf automates the process:

.if empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/ports/databases/memcached*)
CFLAGS= -O3 -pipe -march=native -mtune=native
.endif

.if (.CURDIR:M/usr/ports/databases/memcached*)
CFLAGS= -O2 -pipe -march=native -mtune=native
.endif
