Bug ID: 82715
Summary: support setting default for -pipe as configure option
Product: gcc
Version: 7.2.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: driver
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: npl at chello dot at
Target Milestone: ---
Hello,
I would like to be able to compile gcc with "-pipe" enabled by default.
The advantages would be no trashing of the /tmp filesystem (and potentially a
HDD behind it), no leftovers if gcc gets terminated, and potentially some
performance benefit.
AFAIK, the argument handling should be smart enough if -pipe should be dropped.
Even if not, most of the times -pipe gives benefits and should be preferable.
Some negative '-no-pipe' argument could override the default.
