libgcc gets built very early and what's more it is built not by "normal" cross gcc later found in "output/host/usr/bin" but by gcc's own bare-minimal version: output/build/host-gcc-xxx/build/./gcc/xgcc. Which in the end means BR2_TARGET_OPTIMIZATION is not applied to cross-compiler via toolchain wrapper. But given libgcc is an essential target executable we may want it to be built with the same "optimization" flags as all other libs and binaries. Technically this is doable with TARGET_ABI which is added to TARGET_CFLAGS but user cannot [or at least is not supposed to] modify TARGET_ABI as it is used for tunign for a particular platform. But still there might be a need to compile everything for tha target with a special compiler option and this change allows for that. For eaxmple ARC still doesn't have properly working link-time relaxation which requires us to compile everything properly from the beginning, otherwise we may face a situation when huge apps/libs like Qt5WebKit might fail to pass the final linkage because some symbols might be too far from each other as by default gcc will try to use shorter relocations. Solution is as simple as rebuild of everything with "-mlong-calls" so that all the symbols are compiled with full 32-bit relocations. And now only libgcc causes problems because it contains quite a few symbols used widely by other binaries like millicode, some math stuff etc. Signed-off-by: Alexey Brodkin <abrodkin@synopsys.com> --- package/gcc/gcc.mk | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
