Subject: Compile time options

I'm goofing around with compiling ruby from source.

Are there "favorite" or recommended compile time options that folks
use?

I'm sure it matters what arch is being used...I'm using Intel and PPC
machines.

I've been compiling it with:

configure --prefix=/usr

but wondered if there might be other options I should be
considering...maybe compiler optimization?

The README doesn't specify any options.

'configure --help' showed that I might want to use enable-thread..but
I'm not using that sort of thing at the moment, and I wasn't sure if
it is by default turned on anyway.
