+<para>If you plan to use compiler optimizations in this chapter, take a look at
+the optimization hint at <ulink url="&hints-root;optimization.txt"/>. Compiler
+optimizations can make a program run a touch faster, but they may also cause
+compilation difficulties and even problems when running the program. If a
+package refuses to compile when using optimization, try to compile it without
+optimization and see if the problem goes away. Even if the package does compile
+when using optimization, there is the risk it may have been compiled
+incorrectly due to compiler bugs or whatever. In short, the small gains achieved
+in using compiler optimization are generally outweighed by the risk. First time
+builders of LFS are encouraged not to bother. Your system will still be plenty
+fast enough and very stable at the same time.</para>
