NAME

       diet - mangle gcc command line arguments

SYNOPSIS

       diet [-v] [-Os] [normal gcc command line]

DESCRIPTION

       diet is a small wrapper around gcc.  It will try to look at the command
       line you specify and try to mangle it so that gcc will compile  against
       the diet libc header files and link against the diet libc itself.

       diet  tries  to be smart for cross compiling.  If the first argument is
       not gcc but sparc-linux-gcc, diet will guess that  you  want  to  cross
       compile   for   sparc  and  use  bin-sparc/dietlibc.a  instead  of  the
       dietlibc.a for your default architecture.

       The -v option will make diet print the modified gcc command line before
       executing it.

       When  passed  the  -Os option before the gcc argument, diet will mangle
       the gcc  options  to  include  the  best  known  for-size  optimization
       settings for the platform.

FILES

       ~/.diet/compiler may contain compiler options as you would specify them
       on the command line, i.e. separated by spaces.  Those will then be used
       instead of the built-in defaults for diet -Os.
