Thanks Michal, I should add this version builds quite a bit slower than other LTO trees, because the single pass kallsyms didn't quite make it, so the Link Time Optimization is re-done 2-3 times if KALLSYMS is enabled. That will be hopefully fixed next cycle. LTO will always be somewhat slower than a normal build, but right now it's a lot slower because of this, depending on the size of the vmlinux. -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
