More thoughts?
Thanks a lot for checking it on PPC64.
I did additional tests on a POWER8 using the same microbench. I share the
results below. The numbers are the arithmetic mean of 10 runs. Unit is second.

Based upon that, it looks like that O3 is better for most of the functions,
specially for sin, cos, and tan.
On the other hand, it looks like that O3 hurts hypot.
Thus it seems -O2 is not quite the same as -O3, but it's not straightforward
to decide which one is better too.
Maybe Andrew can enlight us.
I also CC:ed ppc-aix-port in case somebody there wishes to comment on that.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Gustavo
