I was wondering if anyone has built GCC using a CFLAGS (and CXXFLAGS) setting
that causes GCC to generate code that is not compatibile with the default
GCC output.
I am using
# CC="gcc -m32" CXX="g++ -m32" ...../configure ....
to bootstrap 32bit gcc on 64bit Linux.
Out of curiosity, H.J.Lu, is it for performance reasons (like eg.
bootstrapping in 32 bits mode is faster) or is it for testing reasons
(like you are working on x86 32 bits backend)?
I was imagining that bootstrapping in 64 bits mode would be faster (more
registers at run time of the compiler and less pressure on the register
allocator at compile time of the compiler)
When I was bootstrapping a 32 bits GCC, I used to do that in a chroot-ed
environment (containing a minimal debian x86 32bits distro).
Cheers.
