OCaml is probably a bad example as it uses gcc as wrapper around gas
and ld to perform the assembly and final link[1].
Faster build times (for packages which do not need gcc/gcc-c++
during build)
Has more analysis been done on whether the median build will actually
be faster? I mean, this change will slow down C/C++ builds for sure
and there are a lot of those. And Koji supposedly caches buildroots
which would speed up everything [or could do, apparently it was
disabled in the Fedora instance last time I looked].
I also think the Changes page could reference past discussion on this
topic:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2015-January/thread.html#...
Anyway I'm not opposing this, just comments.
