------- Comment #19 from davek at gcc dot gnu dot org 2010-01-17 15:08 ------- Created an attachment (id=19635) --> (http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=19635&action=view) lto for cygwin, and probably other coff targets
FTR. Well, that turned out to be quite easy. Needs some support in binutils to allow us to override the default section alignment for object files, but that's trivial, and I'll send it to the binutils list shortly. Sigh, most of this is almost-safe-enough-for-stage-3. Oh well. Should I reopen this bug, assign it to myself, retarget it to 4.6 and add the words "or COFF" to the summary?
