Hi,
I'm installing numpy on a 2 cpus intel pentium 4 Linux box. I'm installing BLAS 
and
LAPACK from sources too and I need to tune compiler flags. Here is the 
question: which
are the proper flags for compiling LAPACK? Inside lapack.tgz make.inc.LINUX 
says:
            OPTS     = -funroll-all-loops -fno-f2c -O3
instead on scipy.org[0] it's suggested:
            OPTS = -O2

I assume that using -O3 and unrolling loops should have definitely better 
performance
that just -O2 but I'm wondering if the speedy options can be a problem for 
current
numpy release (numpy-1.0rc1). Is it safe to use '-funroll-all-loops -fno-f2c 
-O3'?

Thanks in advance for answers,

Emanuele
