Hello, recently, I have updated my GCC PowerPC port from 6.3 to 8.2 As my architecture relies on SPE extension, I am using the SPE brench of GCC (powerpc-eabispe-*). Now, my question is related to the generated code. When using V6.3, I had files of about 10k. After upgrading to V8.2, the very same file has more than 40k. Why is that? Please keep in mind that I am using exactly the same compilation flags (*-m32 -mmfpgpr -mabi=spe -mfloat-gprs=double -nostdlib -ffreestanding -fno-builtin -O0 -g3 -std=c11 -Wno-packed-bitfield-compat -Wall -Werror*) and source code, the only thing changing is the compiler version. I wouldn't mind having a memory footprint a bit bigger, but the overhead added is beyond acceptable. Further, besides the crazy sizes, some applications are breaking when using the updated compiler version, even though I am not having any warning neither error (*-Wall -Werror)*. How come, as the ABI should not be broken even with a different compiler version? So, any direction, advice or comment here would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance -- Felipe GM
