Just did that. But, I think I need to recompile entire garnome from the 
meta/gnome-desktop directory as mentioned on the web-site 
http://www.gnome.org/~jdub/garnome/

But, in any case....be it from meta/gnome-desktop or gnome/ in the 
garnome tree, I could not recompile the stuff. It just said

I even tried make clean to remove the previously compiled stuff. But, 
nothing happened !

Also, I forgot to mention this in the previous mail. My gcc -v says

Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/2.96/specs
gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Mandrake Linux 8.2 2.96-0.76mdk)

The optimization flags you provided would be good for the entire garnome 
package or just the gnome sub-directory?
