Re: [google] record compiler options to .note sections
Ok for google branches.
1) document the difference of this option with -grecord-gcc-switches
(this one only record codegen related options, and recorded in debug
section), and with -frecord-gcc-switches?
2) may be better to use option name: -frecord-gcc-switches-in-object
thanks,
David
