Profile Guided Optimization. Here's a doc on it: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/build/buildsystem/pgo.html. It's basically a more optimized build, but it takes twice as long to run. I've been building firefox for years this way with no issues until recently. Mozilla themselves are switching to building with PGO+LTO(Link-time Optimization) with clang it seems. I've tried it too but failed for me. I should note that building with LTO requires the new linker lld from LLVM. > > Which was why I tried using clang - as I said, in the beta I used > last weekend it saved a lot of space in the build, but now it FTBFS > so whether or not it would save any disk space is irrelevant. > > Of course, their version of clang might be different (if so, probably > older). >> > > And please don't top post. > -- Sorry about that, gmail can be annoy in this area. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
