Hello,

could you please provide some comments about the state of "-Os"
(optimising for size) in the gcc 4.5.x versions of Linaro's tool
chain?

It appears there are a number of issues with recent versions of GCC
that get triggered when optimising for size, for example

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45052

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44392

Some other projects like the Linux Foundation driven Poky (resp.
Yocto project) capitulated and stopped using -Os, see for example
here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.embedded.poky/2311/focus=2565


On the other hand, I can see that Linaro even adds improvements for
"-Os", see for example here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.linaro.toolchain/367


So I wonder what the state of these problems with "-Os" is in the
Linaro tool chain?  Have these issues been solved, and is "-Os"
reliably working with the Linaro tool chain?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
