Is there an easy way to tell if my ARM Linux kernel is compiled using the
ARM v4 half-word data handling instructions? I've tried to build the Linux
kernel with two different gcc (2.95.1) compilers: one built using the
'--with-cpu=strongarm110' option, and one without this option. In both
cases, my Linux kernel was approximately the same size.
My understanding (from reading Chris Rutter's notes) was that by default,
the GCC compiler builds an ARM v3 toolchain. So I thought that by building
an ARM v4 toolchain, I might decrease my image size (by taking advantage of
the half-word instructions). Have I missed something here?
