96 NOTES ABOUT GCC6809
97 ===================
98
99 There is one known code generation bug with current versions of gcc6809. If
100 you are getting bad behaviour for some reason and are using optimization
101 (-O1 or higher, -Os), you may be hitting this bug. Adding "-fno-tree-ter"
102 after the "-O" options is known to correct this behaviour in some cases. If
103 someone who understands the gcc code is willing to look at it, patches for
104 the patch would be welcome (especially if that patch moves the base gcc
105 version upward). It is not clear whether this is a bug in the m6809 specific
106 code or the gcc core though it seems like it's in the gcc core.
