This results in a slower build time since fewer cores are used. This particular package also fully disables LTO on i686: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/webkitgtk/blob/rawhide/f/webkitgtk.spec#_18 possibly thin LTO would be helpful to use instead to allow for some performance optimizations. > > > -- > 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/tickets/issues/new
