Subject: Re[2]: How to build firmware (memcmp)
From: Alex Gitelman (alex_at_fg-soup.com)
Date: 2002-06-22

Hi Paul,
You were right. Actual option is -fno-builtin
It's only required if optimization is on. So if you remove -O
it will compile OK without the option.
Firmware still does not loaf though.
Thanks
