Yes I think it would be great to have this feature on all arches if possible. If someone could work with the gcc /linker folks to get this done that would be great. But the feature has been removed from gcc and so its not usable for IA64 with a current compiler anymore. This is basically removing useless code. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
