Comment(by bdu...@…):
I am not in favor of changing the tool chain in this way.
1. It creates another potential way to break gcc.
{{{
$ ldd `which gcc`
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff21fff000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f7860660000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f78609b3000)
}}}
is simple.
2. On my system:
{{{
[zlib]
Build time is: 0 minutes and 5 seconds
Build time in seconds is: 5
Approximate SBU time is: 0.1
}}}
That time is hardly is worth saving.
3. It would require moving zlib to a position before gcc in Chapter 6.
I don't see other distros doing this and the potential to do harm is
greater than what appears to be a negligible benefit.
