According to Ulrich Drepper paper, it is worth to pass -O1 command line option to GNU linker to perform final binary optimizations. Currently this relates at least symbol table optimization for shared libraries. The author also states that new linker version will be developed which will use advanced optimizations techniques.

%optflags_linker -Wl,-O1
%optflags_default ... %optflags_linker

Do you suggest to set default LDFLAGS?

Comment 4 Dmitry V. Levin 2006-01-10 02:07:18 MSK

Or maybe just enable it in ld by default?

Comment 5 Denis Smirnov 2006-01-10 13:50:24 MSK

Если это работает корректно -- лучше установить по-умолчанию в ld.

Comment 6 Dmitry V. Levin 2006-06-07 03:12:34 MSD

Enabled by default in binutils-2.16.91.0.5-alt2 on Mon Jan 09 2006,
nobody complained yet.
