David,
I agree we should not have -mminimal-toc inserted
automatically during a bootstrap. However sometimes we do not have
the luxury of upgrading the OS or even installing a patch. In my case
its a guest account and the sysadmin can't be bothered. :-(
In these situations, adding -mminimal-toc by hand to
BOOT_CFLAGS has been a useful (and the only) course of action for me
ir order to be able to test egcs at all on AIX.
Jeff, if you find yourself in similar straights, -mminimal-toc should
allow testing bootstraps at various opt levels until you can arrange
for the patch to be installed or the OS to be upgraded.
