Subject: %optflags for new gcc
Hi,
We may want to adjust our %optflags now (in .rpmmacros). I am thinking
of two changes:
1. Use -Os instead of -O2. BTW, the kernel already builds with -Os.
In my (limited) testing, -Os results in significantly smaller code that
is about as fast as -O2's (and is sometimes faster than -O2's).
2. Drop our -mpreferred-stack-boundary* options, which arguably break
the ABI and are more likely to actually break things now that gcc
generates SSE2 instructions (-msse2 is implied on x86_64).
Comments?
What do other distros use with similar gcc versions?
