2010-06-04 16:41:36 Dave Martin description Binary package hint: gcc-4.4 GCC has some special-case Thumb-1 code for libgcc (in gcc/config/arm/lib1funcs.asm) which is being assembled in preference to the ARM implementation as a result of targeting the compiler to Thumb. I haven't benchmarked anything, but it's highly likely to be significantly slow compared to an ARM/Thumb-2 implementation. Fixed on trunk by the following patch: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-08/msg00365.html Binary package hint: gcc-4.4 Affected: lucid gcc-4.4 (4.4.3-4ubuntu5) GCC has some special-case Thumb-1 code for libgcc (in gcc/config/arm/lib1funcs.asm) which is being assembled in preference to the ARM implementation as a result of targeting the compiler to Thumb.
