Re: [PATCH]: Fix bootstrap compile time blowout on x86_64.
So this is only an issue with checking enabled, then why is this really
an issue?
Because it is unnecessary to call the check_cfg function N times per
function, instead of twice?
We could also call verify_ssa after every bsi_insert, and use up a lot
more time that is only there with checking enabled, but it probably
wouldn't catch more bugs.
Yes people might complain about the compile time speed for
bootstrap but this only happens while compiling stage2 if we do
--enable-checking=release.
We are talking about something that isn't going to catch more bugs,
and add 10-20 minutes to bootstrap time.
Seems silly to keep it there if it's not going to catch more bugs, yet
waste tons of developer time.
