    gcc o3 optimization not working

    My code compiled fine with -o optimization, but it gives the following errors with -o3 optimization:
    Code:
    /usr/bin/ld: bug: stdout: invalid version 2 (max 0)
    bug: error adding symbols: Bad value
    collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
    makefile:2: recipe for target 'all' failed
    I looked the error up and there aren't a lot of resources on it... Execution speed is crucial for my program and I would appreciate a level 3 optimization as opposed to level 1... Any ideas as to how to fix it?

    Just in case, let's clarify: you passed -O3 rather than -o3 as an option, right?

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    NVM I did something stupid...
    I accidentally used lower case o in my makefile, as opposed to O...
