There are many new gcc's floating around, and many new options to gcc (pentium gcc provides one example). In the event that people testing their kernel decide to change the default CFLAGS through something like
make CFLAGS='-O3 -mfoobar ... '
There is no record of what they used. The diff I wrote adds functionality to put this in include/linux/compile.h, as well as a /proc entry to display the CFLAGS string.
From now on you can pick up any of my patches (a long, fruitless legacy ;) from embittered.caltech.edu in /pub/linux/patches.
