And the fastest of this set of builds. I had over 7.5 GB ov available real memory, so no comment on how little I can get away with for this.
The total space and install were marginally smaller than with clang, but since the details of both seem to fluctuate by a few KB I don't regard that as significant. The important thing is that the disk space, and presumably the virtual space for the linker, is significantly smaller. Maybe it will even build on i686. But that's the end of this series of tests. I need to get back to my other machine where I've been doing the first "tuning" run, dot the i's and cross the t's, tweak one of my scripts, and then branch my git tree so that I can update at least LFS to current (gcc-9.1) and build that on this machine. ĸen -- Before the universe began, there was a sound.
