Package: pentium-builder
Version: 0.18
When gcc is invoked with the pentium-builder package installed, it
inserts the cpu optimizations between gcc.real and the rest of the
passed in parameters. This works correctly if there is no optimization
set up in the source or package makefile. But, if some optimization is
include in the package or source, it will transform the command as
expected, but the optimization specified will be overridden.
For example, if the makefile issues this command to build "test":
gcc -mcpu=i686 -march=i686 -c test.c -o test.o
with "DEBIAN_BUILDARCH=athlon-xp" and pentium-builder, it will transform
this to
gcc.real -mcpu=athlon-xp -march=athlon-xp -mcpu=i686 -march=i686 -c
-test.c -o test.o
I believe that gcc will always use the value that a parameter was last
set to. In this case, it will use -march=i686 and -mcpu=i686 instead of
athlon-xp, since i686 was specified last.
I think the wrapper should be changed to append the optimizations to the
end of the command line, so it would then be:
gcc.real -mcpu=i686 -march=i686 -c -test.c -o test.o -mcpu=athlon-xp
-march=athlon-xp
With this, our specified optimizations will always be at the end of the
command line, so it will always be last - which will guarantee in all
cases that our optimization is used correctly.
Thanks for your consideration,
Ronan Brunner
