SYNOPSIS
export DEBIAN_BUILDARCH=architectureexport DEBIAN_BUILDGCCVER=gcc-version
gcc ...
DESCRIPTION
The builder-cc wrapper is normally used by calling gcc as usual. If the environment variable DEBIAN_BUILDARCH is not set, builder-cc does nothing, and the real gcc is invoked with the specified arguments.When the DEBIAN_BUILDARCH environment variable is set, builder-cc invokes gcc with the specified arguments, plus -mcpu=DEBIAN_BUILDARCH -march=DEBIAN_BUILDARCH This has the effect of telling gcc to use architecture-specific optimizations without changing the command line. This is particularly useful for package builds.
If DEBIAN_BUILDGCCVER is not set, builder-cc calls gcc.real. If DEBIAN_BUILDGCCVER is set, builder-cc calls gcc-DEBIAN_BUILDGCCVER instead.
ENVIRONMENT
- DEBIAN_BUILDARCH
- If set, the architecture to compile for. Useful values are pentium or pentiumpro.
- DEBIAN_BUILDGCCVER
-
If set, the version of gcc to be invoked. Useful values are
3.0
or
2.95.
NOTES
The real gcc is renamed gcc.real, and a diversion is registered with dpkg-divert(1). Thus builder-cc's idea of the default gcc is dictated by whatever package installed /usr/bin/gcc.
