we love to compile on the edge ;D

ok, in this post i'll spend two words about a my debian builder-cc enhanced version.

you know builder-cc is a gcc/g++ wrapper, which utilize some bash env variable to optimize/tune/etc compilation, using -mtune -ftracer and so on...

in builder-cc (and builder-c++) only 2 variables are used, that is
DEBIAN_BUILDARCH (to specify architecture as pentium3,prescott,k7,k8,core2 and so on...) and DEBIAN_BUILDGCCVER (just the gcc version: 4.2, 4.3, ...)

however, i love extreme situations, and these 2 variables are not enough for me.. i want use also -ftrace -fomit-frame-pointer -mSOMEsse etc...

so, just another variable: EXTREME_COMPILING (what wonderful name, isn't ;D ?)

with "EXTREME_COMPILING=yes" we could have:

-pipe -O2 -msse4 -ftracer -mcx16 -msahf -fomit-frame-pointer -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -other-options-we-like

and NOW, 'cause most people have multicore processore (core2duo,quad,etc), it would be smart use make "-j" option; -j = jobs -> it specifies the number of simultaneously jobs (i.e. compiling). So i use -j9 'cause i have a i7 (ht-quad = 8cores) [or you can using -j`echo $((`getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN`+1))` ]
For this last i wrote "builder-make", which use SMP_MAKE=9 <- -j9

To be more simpler, i used same prefix in variable names:
BUILDER_ARCH
BUILDER_GCCVER
BUILDER_EXTREME_COMPILING
BUILDER_SMP_MAKE


ACHTUNG!
in order to use builder-cc, builder-c++ and (last) builder-make, we must:
1) use this links structure:

[k0smik0@widgy bin]$ pwd
/usr/bin
[k0smik0@widgy bin]$ ls -l g++* gcc* make*                                                
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     11 19 mag 17:51 g++ -> builder-c++*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 253104 26 feb 06:56 g++-4.4*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     10 19 mag 17:51 gcc -> builder-cc*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 239080 17 feb 11:53 gcc-4.3*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 251440 26 feb 06:57 gcc-4.4*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      7  7 mar 12:18 gcc.real -> gcc-4.4*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      7  7 mar 12:23 g++.real -> g++-4.4*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     12  7 mar 12:24 make -> builder-make*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  31070 16 feb 06:04 make-kpkg*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 166448  2 nov  2009 make.real*

2) declare above variables with "declare -x" or "export" before launch gcc/g++/make, or declare in /etc/bash.bashrc or ~/.bashrc or... or.

ok, here the scripts: links:
builder-cc
builder-c++
builder-make
or code below:
