Re: [avr-gcc-list] clock skew detected

[Jack Valmadre]

I'm using Windows XP, and I haven't seen this error on my old Windows 98
computer.
Should I just not worry about it, or could it be affecting my programs?

Also, for my application (RoboCup Junior soccer) I need to optimise my code
for speed, without having to worry much about space (32kB on the ATMega32).
Which optimisation setting should I specify in the makefile?

Thanks,
Jack

(sorry David if you get this twice)
