What is the effect of -ffreestanding option? Is it like -fno-builtin exactly?
Hey Ali,
here's a quote from the man page:
"Assert that compilation takes place in a freestanding environment.
This implies -fno-builtin. A freestanding environment is one in which
the standard library may not exist, and program startup may not
necessarily be at "main". The most obvious example is an OS kernel.
This is equivalent to -fno-hosted."
From the code-level, the -ffreestanding option just sets -fno-hosted
and the -fno-bulitin option.
