Does that tell you anything now? Clearly, the optimisation flags are set according to the processor and the architecture used.
Hope this is clear enough. I suppose you should ask people like Pradeepto and Vihan about GCC flags and all.
Thanks for such a detailed info. And thanks to all those who replied :)
Is there any software utility that will detect hardware automatically and give compile instructions which will automatically compile the system to its optimum level? I remember using a hardware detect utility for DOS that would detect all hardware and list it out. New hardware is updated by downloading updated text files.
So whats needed is an auto compiler and a dbase file fresh from the net. Are the parameters passed to the kernel something that hw manufacturers want to hide away from Open Source or are they regular open parameters? If regular then the hw makers could release the dbase list along with the release of new hw.
