Hello, I know you can pass flags to the compiler to optimize programs that
the compiler is building. Like -O2 and -march=athlon, etc..., etc...
However, I have a question, how can I optimize gcc itself? I do alot of
compiling of large projects and I want the compiler to work as fast as
possible. I have an AMD Athlon but I am not sure how to pass it the flags
for -march=athlon and -mcpu=athlon while it is bootstraping itself. Can
anyone help me out here?
P.S. If anyone knows of any options that work very well with the athlon
besides -march=athlon and -mcpu=athlon please share your knowledge.
Luke
