[e69a59f] | 6 | <para>This package is known to behave badly when you have changed its
|
---|
[2b114b25] | 7 | default optimization flags (including the -march and -mcpu options).
|
---|
| 8 | Therefore, if you have defined any environment variables that override
|
---|
| 9 | default optimizations, such as CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS, we recommend unsetting
|
---|
| 10 | or modifying them when building GCC.</para>
