    232       There is a problem in i686 systems, when build with
    233       <application>gcc</application> ranging from 4.8 to 4.9.1, and using the
    234       switch <quote>--enable-optimize</quote>. You have two alternatives, best
    235       one being the upgrade of <application>gcc</application> to version 4.9.2,
    236       because that switch implies better perfomance and smaller binaries.
    237       However, if you do not wish to upgrade gcc, disable the switch with:

    292       On this version of seamonkey, an old bug has reappeared in 32-bit builds.
    293       With optimization, the install fails<!-- with a Python error-->.  This
    294       command will fix i686 builds and preserve the optimization on x86_64.
