Why bother with GCC at all? It is a horrible compiler which produces slow code (and has many optimizations above -O2 broken). It's main advantages are that it is portable and free. If you are looking for a compiler that actually produces good binaries you are looking the wrong way IMO. ICC is a better compiler by far. Shame ICC support is only in a couple of packages and not more widespread. -- Nicolai P.
