    [PowerPC] Remove -ftree-loop-linear from Makefiles · a88b64b9
    Tulio Magno Quites Machado Filho authored
    In the past the "-ftree-loop-linear" switch provided a measurable
    improvement in performance for certain functions.  At some point it
    was assigned as the responsibility of Graphite in GCC.  It has been
    found that even with Graphite enabled these flags no longer perform
    any appreciable improvement over the baseline.
    
    Graphite now has some open bugs which need to be fixed in order for it
    to provide measurable performance improvements but it lacks active
    development.  As a result some compiler distributors may disable
    Graphite.  If Graphite is disabled then building GLIBC will fail if
    the "-ftree-loop-linear" switch is used.
    
    This patch removes the use of "-ftree-loop-linear" as unnecessary.
