-fomit-frame-pointer makes seabios fail with v2. I'd like to
understand the reason why we want it enabled and how we can fix it.
Thanks,
Myles
from gcc:
-fomit-frame-pointer
Don’t keep the frame pointer in a register for functions that don’t
need one. This avoids the instructions to save, set up and restore
frame pointers; it also makes an extra register available in many
functions. It also makes debugging impossible on some machines.
On some machines, such as the VAX, this flag has no effect, because
the standard calling sequence automatically handles the frame
pointer and nothing is saved by pretending it doesn’t exist. The
machine-description macro "FRAME_POINTER_REQUIRED" controls whether
a target machine supports this flag.
Enabled at levels -O, -O2, -O3, -Os.
