    <para>If you want to optimize the build, edit the appropriate makefile in
    <filename>solenv/inc/</filename> and add the desired optimization
    flags to the <envar>CFLAGSOPT</envar> variable. The makefiles are arch

    for i686.  Some users have reported problems with
    <option>-fomit-frame-pointer</option>. The best option is to not use any
    custom optimizations. The following command removes an incorrect
    <option>-mcpu</option> option in several of the makefiles:</para>

    <parameter>--with-system-*</parameter> parameters.  Additionally, if
    building against <application>Firefox</application>, you must provide
