From an user interface point of view I have no preferences for -fuse-linker-plugin or -use-linker-plugin. I don't like the idea of ignoring -fuse-linker-plugin on the compilers (cc1/cc1plus/...). We should probably filter it on the driver. From an implementation point of view it is easier to avoid -use-linker-plugin being passed to the linker than it is to avoid -fuse-linker-plugin being passed to the compilers. The reason is that we don't need the option after linking, so we can just use %< to filter it out. With -f I think we would have to record it in a variable and use that in the spec. BTW, a bootstrap with the original patch attached finished successfully. > Ian > Cheers, -- Rafael Ávila de Espíndola
