What does ToT mean?


Why/how does building the Git master branch fail for you?  Please always
provide specific error messages, etc.


Yes, the code is still there, but it is not used anymore -- in the very
recent Git master branch -- for most configurations (including yours),
and is scheduled for removal soon; see
<http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-02/msg00153.html>.


In <http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2012-02/msg00114.html> I eventually
found a proper analysis of what is going wrong in the
-frecord-gcc-switches case: there is a non-text section before the text
section (dummy function) begins, but the ``.text'' statement will be
snipped away with the dummy function.  Your appears to be fine as a
band-aid, but I don't think the maintainers will want to apply it -- as
this issue will disappear/already has disappeared with the new crti/crtn
setup.
