Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |amodra at gmail dot com --- Comment #3 from Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> --- We don't always emit .machine because that is a waste of time if the .machine cpu matches the original cpu passed on the command line to gas. .machine reloads the gas opcode table, which may take a significant time.
