Hey guys,
I would start linking everything with -Wl,--hash-style=both as this is said to
speed up the loading of shared libraries by about 50% (google is your
friend). This is an option for binutils and was introduced with binutils
2.17. Now there are two ways to achieve this:
Change TARGET_LDFLAGS in e.g. the distro config (as this knows if binutils has
this option available) or to change the "specs" of gcc to enable this by
default. There is a patch from debian for gcc4.3 but it is leaving
arm/armeabi out. What do you guys prefer?
I'm pretty sure that we will want to use the GNU hash style at Openmoko and
this is creating an interesting problem in regard to a full system upgrade
(which is supposed to work). Again there are two ways. Use force and bump PE
on each package but we should avoid this. I propose to rename PR to FILE_PR
and change PR to "${FILE_PR}${DISTRO_PR}" so everytime a distro is changing
something that effects every package we can bump (e.g. Setting DISTRO_PR
to .1 for Openmoko).
comments?
