Subject: toolchain: get rid of -pipe from optimisations
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=01c34b38a4181a3b82f7507546dc97619b4246ed;p=buildroot.git

toolchain: get rid of -pipe from optimisations

-pipe is causing some build failures in Linux kernel >= 3.17.

Also, nowadays, using -pipe does not gain as much as it used to back in
the days:

Measurements made with a 3.16.7 Linux kernel:
    make linux-depends
    time sh -c 'make linux-build >/dev/null 2>&1'

Without -pipe:

    714.17user 53.55system 3:39.98elapsed 348%CPU
Average:                   3:40.29elapsed

With -pipe:

    713.38user 53.69system 3:40.44elapsed 347%CPU

    717.85user 53.97system 3:41.77elapsed 348%CPU
    716.77user 53.77system 3:40.91elapsed 348%CPU
    717.48user 53.65system 3:41.24elapsed 348%CPU
    721.44user 55.67system 3:43.45elapsed 347%CPU
    724.61user 55.63system 3:43.35elapsed 349%CPU
Average:                   3:40.93elapsed

The delta is well in the measurement noise.

Just get rid of it.
