From efb734d8ed040b053f53fd53589ed5d9c9b5cd04 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Metcalf Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:05:04 -0400 Subject: arch/tile: make sure to build memcpy_user_64 without frame pointer Add a comment explaining why this is important, and add a CFLAGS_REMOVE clause to the Makefile to make sure it happens.
