Subject: [PATCH] tools: drop nonsensical -O6
Date: Sun,  8 Sep 2024 19:46:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4f01524fa4ea91c7146a41e26ceaf9dae4c127e4.1725821201.git.sam@gentoo.org> (raw)

-O6 is very much not-a-thing. Really, this should've been dropped
entirely in 49b3cd306e60b9d889c775cb2ebb709f80dd8ae9 instead of just
passing it for not-Clang.

Just collapse it down to -O3, instead of "-O6 unless Clang, in which case
-O3".

GCC interprets > -O3 as -O3. It doesn't even interpret > -O3 as -Ofast,
which is a good thing, given -Ofast has specific (non-)requirements for
code built using it. So, this does nothing except look a bit daft.

Remove the silliness and also save a few lines in the Makefiles accordingly.

I promise I'm not completely humourless, but given it's caused
actual workarounds to be added for Clang, I don't think this is worth keeping.

Plus it sort of propagates a silly myth that -O6 does anything.
