------- Comment #8 from matz at gcc dot gnu dot org 2007-11-07 16:45 ------- When I analyzed this for the first time and finally found the root cause my immediate reaction was "huh? we still have -fforce-addr?" . So, I also wanted to get rid of it. But Richard had some reservations at that time suspecting that it still has some performance implications sometimes. But, I mean, nobody ever uses -fforce-addr consciously anymore. It's in libtheoras Makefile just because some ancient version of gcc produced better code with it, sometimes, perhaps.
So if we can agree to dump -fforce-addr: yes, please. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33713
