[PATCH 01/18] Added hacking menu for override optimization by GCC.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: mail@xxxxxxxxxx <mail@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch gives ability for add some "-fno-..." options for GCC
and to force -O1 optimization. Supporting files, like Kconfig, Makefile
are auto-generated due to large amount of available options.

Patch helps to debug kernel.
