This would involve the usual procedure to add flags to the default set, as mentioned here: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/FAQ#Q:_Can_we_add_support_for_new_default_build_flags_to_dpkg-buildflags.3F Notice that not all are supposed to be requirements, which depends on the expected effect of the flags at hand. In this case though my first questions would be: * Why are these not enabled by default in binutils upstream? * How much bigger do objects get after this? * Can this increase linker times substantially? * Is there any downside, like backwards compat issues or similar? Thanks, Guillem
