OCaml is probably a bad example as it uses gcc as wrapper around gas and ld to perform the assembly and final link[1]. > Faster build times (for packages which do not need gcc/gcc-c++ > during build) Has more analysis been done on whether the median build will actually be faster? I mean, this change will slow down C/C++ builds for sure and there are a lot of those. And Koji supposedly caches buildroots which would speed up everything [or could do, apparently it was disabled in the Fedora instance last time I looked]. I also think the Changes page could reference past discussion on this topic: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2015-January/thread.html#206326 Anyway I'm not opposing this, just comments.
