Known issues in 4.7 release series:
* Comparing to 4.6, GCC 4.7 tends to inline more function calls when
optimizing for speed (O2/O3). So program built from 4.7 with O2/O3
might be slightly bigger than 4.6, but usually with performance gain.
To fall back closer to 4.6 behavior, please include compiler option:
--param early-inlining-
Important bugs fixed in 4.7 update 2013q2 release:
* Upgrade doc/*.texi to the latest texinfo package
https:/
* Fix ICE with -mtune option
https:/
* Fix --debug option in build script
https:/
* Fix unnecessary lr save in thumb1 leaf function
Important bugs fixed in 4.7 update 2013q1 release:
* Mac OS host version has python dependence
* LTO failure when installed in directory with space in path name
http://
* Load address of data sections containing aligned data
http://
* libnosys doesn't check stack overflow
https:/
* librdimon.a doesn't match newlib-nano
