I don't know enough about the compiler to know if this is important or not. Much of any gnu configure script is boilerplate, but I've no idea how much is used (e.g. I frequently - when I look, which is mostly in BLFS - see tests for fortran).

In the past, did you ever do the similar exercise (using chapter 5 to build itself) ? Anyway, if you are up for a variant of Greg's ICA, surely it is the differences between chapter 6 built from chapter 5, and from itself, which matter ? In the past I used to use my farce scripts to compare chapter 6 (they're probably still in ~ken/ at lfs), but in the end I gave up because (on x86_64) there were too many differences. To start with, I had a list of files - some of which were in packages from BLFS which I always build before booting - that always seemed to differ. But somewhere, possibly around gcc-4.1, the list grew without any good explanation. Using some program and option which I now forget (probably an option to ld), I managed to disassemble the binaries - it seemed that the code was *totally* different. I tentatively marked this down as randomisation, i.e. various parts of the code ended up at different places in the file, but without any way of proving it. That was probably on x86_64, although I think Archaic was the last person to run farce, probably on i686, and that he saw similar 'inexplicable' differences. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
