Bug #: 53472
Summary: contrib/compare-debug should strip out .comment
section
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.8.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: bootstrap
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org

Now, as to why for me BUILD_CONFIG isn't bootstrap-debug: configure.ac
activates this by default, but then checks if contrib/compare-debug
actually works for comparing a debug and non-debug .o file. And for
SuSE systems it doesn't, because our system compilers encode some command
line options (among them -g) into a special .comment section.
Any chance you could adjust the script to strip out the .comment section
you mentioned elsewhere, so that you get faster bootstrap with
bootstrap-debug testing too?
