Rene,

I understand how the wrapper work.  It is a really good tool to inject
custom cflags and cxxflags to gcc compiler.

My question was more like how gcc code generation work.  Please see the
link below because I decided to ask the question on gcc-help mailing list
instead.

I just got qt-5.10 to build w/ webengine support, specifically for
pentium4.  The work detail was discussed here:
https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg30524.html

There were a few challenges to be able to build it natively on x86_32bit,
ie 8GIG memory + alot of disk space.  Whoever is interested in getting
webengine to run, he/she can following instructions provided in the above
URL.

TP
