Line 40:
I reverted an edit from Hangin10 regarding -fno-leading-underscore. One of the advantages of the [[GCC Cross-Compiler]] is that it makes any tweaks regarding this option unnecessary. IMHO, if we start "leaking" such tweaks into this tutorial, we end up with a "Bare bones for Windows" and a "Bare bones for Linux" again. Or has there been a reason for this edit that I am unaware of? -- [[User:Solar|Solar]] 08:26, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
:'''Agreed''' If you use a windows oriented compiler you get stuck with all its windows oriented dependencies. Better not to silently allow a timebomb to be constructed on a windows platform by disabling leading underscores, and just have everybody use the crosscompiler from day one. - [[User:Combuster|Combuster]] 23:59, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
== FPU Support ==
I reverted an edit from Hangin10 where the 'finit' instruction was added. IMO, FPU initialization doesn't belong in Bare Bones, and a single 'finit' doesn't even begin to touch on anything else that is needed for proper FPU support. - [[User:Quok|quok]] 19:13, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
