Well I'm interested. Would you really have a single .c/.S file that
benefits from it? It's possible.
I take back what I said.
There are files where the text size is significantly larger than the
maximum branch distance
for a PA 1.x relative `bl` branch:
dave@mx3210:~/linux/linux$ /usr/bin/hppa64*size ./drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc.o
text data bss dec hex filename
734090 19872 2128 756090 b897a ./drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc.o
However, the compiler turns these short branches into long branches when
the branch
can't reach the stub table. If this works, -ffunction-sections isn't
needed.
Sometimes this fails when the stub table overflows but this is rare.
