RE: Differing results from cross and native compilers

["Eric DeVolder" <edevolder@razamicroelectronics.com>]

Thiemo, could you share what the native 3.4 compiler reports as its configuration? (e.g. the "Configured with: " statement)?

 

Thanks,

Eric

I get the same (properly optimised) result from both compilers:

  gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20060901 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-13)
  mips-linux-gnu-gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20060901 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-13)


I haven't tried a 3.4 crosscompiler, but the native one also behaves
as expected:

  gcc-3.4 (GCC) 3.4.6 (Debian 3.4.6-4)
