they are flags not enough for grub build and work by gcc version more 4.4.
i have some additional patches on my dilos-illumos tree for builds and work by gcc47/48/49
also, some flags can break gcc44.

You're right more changes are required. I want to tackle them one at a time.

This change shouldn't break anything since GCC 4.4.4 also supports the -fno-reorder-functions flag but I haven't tested that out.

Updated by Kim Shrier about 4 years ago

This appears to fix a problem that everybody ran into when compiling with GCC >= 4.6.

LGTM
