You mean "differed between your previous build and the build with
Andreas patch"?

Richard Zidlicky reported a difference in "make compare" which you
can't do unless you perform a full staged bootstrap with a native
compiler.

By the way, do you also agree that -fomit-frame-pointer is always
a win on m68k?  AFAIK, gdb handles it correctly and all
-fomit-frame-pointer bugs should have been fixed.

I'll run a testsuite with -fomit-frame-pointer enabled to make
sure it doesn't break anything.

My proposal is to switch m68k to imply -fomit-frame-pointer with
-O.  Of course, I think we're too late for 3.4, so it will have
to be postponed even if we all agree.
