Compiler Flags on Pidora

Project Description

Find a set of compiler flags that reduce the binary size and improve performance for packages built for Pidora.

Project Leader

TBD

Project Details

A set of packages will be selected to use for testing. Ideally, these packages will cover a range of dependencies and use cases, such as common utilities, libraries, and GUI tools.

The packages will be built in a Mock environment on an ARMv6 machine.
