Isn't that always the case in general? With a 'make bootstrap' the compiler is built by itself whereas with a bare 'make' it is built by the installed compiler. So in general the final compilers are not identical. What prevents you from setting CFLAGS="-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer" if you happen to be rebuilding the compiler with an installed version of itself? -- Eric Botcazou
