[28360cb] | 6 | <para>This package is known to behave badly when you have changed its default

[e69a59f] | 7 | optimization flags (including the -march and -mcpu options). Binutils is

[2c094d6] | 8 | best left alone. Therefore, if you have defined any environment variables
|
---|
[e69a59f] | 9 | that override default optimizations, such as CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS, we
|
---|
[2c094d6] | 10 | recommend unsetting or modifying them when building binutils. You have been
