            Bug ID: 82715
           Summary: support setting default for -pipe as configure option
           Product: gcc
           Version: 7.2.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: driver
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: npl at chello dot at
  Target Milestone: ---

Hello,

I would like to be able to compile gcc with "-pipe" enabled by default.

The advantages would be no trashing of the /tmp filesystem (and potentially a
HDD behind it), no leftovers if gcc gets terminated, and potentially some
performance benefit.

AFAIK, the argument handling should be smart enough if -pipe should be dropped.
Even if not, most of the times -pipe gives benefits and should be preferable.
Some negative '-no-pipe' argument could override the default.
