Please check: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/changes.html , it says, start to added -march=armv8.2-a. Does it mean gcc-6.2 NOT support this option?
So does the 'gcc-linaro-6.2.1-2016.11' add the same option? However, the release comes from gcc-6.2. I am a little confused? Does this release fully support aarch64 (ignore some bug fix)? If yes, this should be one good choice for the customer. Thanks.
We backport patches from the FSF development tree into our releases. So the linaro gcc-6.2 has more arm/aarch64 features than the FSF gcc-6.2.
