  I'm trying to build glibc with these configure arguments:

  CC="gcc -march=x86-64-v3" CXX="g++ -march=x86-64-v3" \
  --with-rtld-early-cflags=-march=x86-64

It does not quite work because the ld.so trampolines are now initialized
early, and at that point, -march=x86-64 is in effect.  I tried to move
the computation to the configure state, so that it is frozen using the
default (not early) CC/CFLAGS combination.  I've got a prototype patch,
but I've trouble understanding the meaning of “baseline” vs the other
options.  Any suggestions how to proceed?

Thanks,
Florian

Can you open a glibc bug report, and CC Sunil and me?

Thanks.

Sure, it's this bug:

  Configuring with CC="gcc -march=x86-64-v3"
  --with-rtld-early-cflags=-march=x86-64 results in linker failure
  <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31676>

Thanks,
Florian
