Mir uses LTO on all platforms except ppc64 (the build dies with undefined references on that arch (rh#1515934)). We do this because Mir links to a lot of things inside and out and the optimizations makes for faster and smaller libraries, which makes things better for consumers of the Mir libraries. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
