In 6.5 I think you mean. From my reading of the code in 6.4.2 it always
uses -O, not -O2.
Actually, enabling -O2 for gcc will cause problems on some arches,
notably ia64 and very occasionally sparc iirc. These are mainly issues
related to the mangler I believe.
Simon, I can send a patch, but what's the best way to do per-arch bits
in main/DriverPipeline.hs? Is there a runtime var for the arch or should
I use #ifdefs, or should it go in configure somewhere to centralise
per-arch decisions?
At the moment the code (in DriverPipeline.runPhase) is just:
let cc_opt | optLevel dflags >= 2 = "-O2"
| otherwise = "-O"
