After this patch it goes up to 118 million. # # Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 de8a34242c88473ee615f66a7ded095f094e708e # < make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/npiggin_g5_defconfig_powerpc-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- g5_defconfig # < make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/npiggin_g5_defconfig_powerpc-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- help # make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/npiggin_g5_defconfig_powerpc-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/npiggin_g5_defconfig_powerpc-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/npiggin_g5_defconfig_powerpc-gcc4.9 # Build took: 0:02:07.556779
