Bug ID: 58532 Summary: bootstrap failure with BOOT_CFLAGS="-g -O3" Product: gcc Version: 4.9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: bootstrap Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: dcb314 at hotmail dot com I just tried to bootstrap gcc 4.9 trunk dated 20130925 on an AMD Phenom with BOOT_CFLAGS="-g -O3". It failed, but on checking the difference between -O2 and -O3, I got the following setting of BOOT_CFLAGS to bootstrap ok. -g -O2 -ftree-partial-pre -fipa-cp-clone -fvect-cost-model -ftree-slp-vectorize -ftree-loop-vectorize -fgcse-after-reload -funswitch-loops -fpredictive-commoning It looks to me like flag -ftree-loop-distribute-patterns breaks bootstrap.
