------- Comment #7 from sdack at gmx dot de 2007-02-18 22:12 ------- I dug a bit deeper and should now get my gcc compiled with a load full of options. It is compiling right now. The idea is to get a highly optimized output as well as to cause high stress to gcc. However, there is a file called gcc-4.1.2/config/mh-x86omitf, which hard-codes BOOT_CFLAGS. This value can not be over-written by an environment variable, through an argument to make or by specifying --with-boot-cflags=... to configure. The file gets included and then seems to be untouchable. I therefore edited it. Why libcpp and other parts are being compiled with no CFLAGS when they surely could use some optimization I do not yet now. The whole concept of autoconf/automake blurrs it to an extend where I loose my interest. ... The compile now aborted with an internal compiler error. So much for that *smirk*.
