"better-optimized" with a dash, isn't that a bit German where we have words like Zugführerkontrollleuchtenschalter? ;-) LRA has not been used inthat note so far. Would it be appropriate to say something like "LRA (a new local register allocator)" instead? (This is what we do in gcc-7/changes.html the first time LRA is referred to.) > New command-line options <code>-mgprel-sec=</code> and > <code>-mr0rel-sec=</code> have been added. Would it make sense to hint what these options are about (which areas they cover)? Gerald
