TC7.2rc1 compiletc woes...

Not the specific bug, but close. LTO doesn't yet fully support separating the instruction sets, even in GCC 6.

The fix-for-older hardware gcc re-compile provided above wasn't added to TC7 updates.

Could this recompiled version please be officially added to TC7 so all older hardware users can benefit?

The size difference is not 4MB, it's negligible, file manager rounds both versions to 27MB:

Otherwise i would like to submit a gcc-legacy or similar extension, but that could get messy and confusing. Thanks.

I'm away this week - I'll do it when I get back

Hi Juanito, no update detected via Apps.

[Juanito]

It doesn't show up when checking for updates?

[nitram]

That is correct, your re-compiled GCC that should also work for older hardware does not show up in Apps -> Maintenance -> Check for updates. Have tried both repo.tinycorelinux.net and distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux. Tried a test compile to confirm the broken GCC is, in fact, the one utilized in /optional. Apps updates for other software recently worked, including recent SeaMonkey update.

Hopefully it should be OK now...

Got it now, thank-you again.
