At the moment, I disagree - it seems to be a workaround for building with -Os. I don't have a problem with the patch being in the patches repo - we have various other patches which aren't in the book. For me, the client part of nfs-utils-1.3.0 is working fine (nfs v3) with gcc-4.9.0. I build with -O2 whenever a package respects my CFLAGS, in this case the default flags are -g -O2. Using -Os used to be a nice idea (back in the days when a desktop machine might only have 512MB or RAM). For a while, Linus thought that using -Os in the kernel would be a good idea (to reduce the icache footprint), but too many problems showed up. So, I recommend that people not use -Os in normal circumstances. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early. After all, she was an old lady.
