Yes, they did. But even if I understand your frustration (which I share),
I also understand the gcc people. After all, using gcc to create the
blocks for dynamic translation is a _hack_.
Yes, it is a hack. And short of some guarantees from gcc, (which we
don't have), it is destined to be an ongoing issue.
The result of a compiler run,
though, should work and run -- as fast as possible. So basically, the gcc
people want to achieve a different goal from what we misuse their program
for.
Creating a qemu variant target for gcc would address both of these
concerns. It would introduce new ones, of course, but it would address
these two.
