I noticed on my Fedora 13 box that in the RPM macro %__global_cflags
that -frecord-gcc-switches is missing, which is a nifty compiler
feature that will record the flags passed to gcc in a section in the
object file, thus aiding in the "how in the world was this compiled?"
problem. An example:
[jstanley at hawtness ~]$ gcc -O2 -frecord-gcc-switches -g -o hello hello.c
[jstanley at hawtness ~]$ readelf -p .GCC.command.line hello
String dump of section '.GCC.command.line':
[ 0] hello.c
[ 8] -mtune=generic
[ 17] -g
[ 1a] -O2
[ 1e] -frecord-gcc-switches
What do folks think about adding this as a default? Any reason not to
(other than possibly a few bytes extra in the object files)?
