Hi. According to discussion on gentoo-dev |

http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_50182554f851bedb82f8a349fbc90352.xml |

it seems the only reasons for -Wl,--hash-style=gnu not being default (yet) |
4 |
are these headaches for the developers: |
5 |
1) Apparently it does not work on mips |
6 |
2) Apparently it needs >=glibc-2.5 and >=binutils-2.17.50.0.2 |

My PC is x86 and my toolchain is obviously more recent than |
9 |
these old verions, so apparently the flag is completely safe. |
10 |
|
11 |
I've enabled it in /etc/make.conf and I like the slight reduction |
12 |
in binary size. |
13 |
|
14 |
My main question is: |
15 |
Can I just compile new packages with this flag, or do I need to |
16 |
recompile the whole world? In other words, is there any incompatibility |
17 |
between binaries linked with this flag and binaries linked with the default |
18 |
hash-style (which in Gentoo is --hash-style=both, AFAIK)? |
