Hi There are occasions, especially when bootstrapping a whole new World where one needs to build GCC multiple times, that you don't want to be bootstrapping GCC on every invocation, only the first.
On x86 with GCC-4 and above, `make bootstrap' results in the compiler being built with `BOOT_CFLAGS = -O2 -g -fomit-frame-pointer' (picked up from config/mh-x86omitfp). However, if performing a non-bootstrap build ie: built with a plain old `make', BOOT_CFLAGS have no effect and the compiler gets built without `-fomit-frame-pointer'. This means you get a different compiler depending on whether you `make bootstrap'ed it or not, which just seems wrong to me. This never used to be the case. Of course, the problem can easily be worked around once you know what's going on.. but that's not the point. Thanks for any comments. Regards Greg
