Hi,

Not sure the  optimization flags are good in : http:// 
mercurial.opensound.com/?rev/a15da9411856

As I understand "-fast" is a macro equivalent to several others flags:

http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/options.html

http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/amd64_migration.html#fast

so using -xO2 and -fast at the same does not make much sense AFAICS

Note also that -fast will produce target platform specific code (in  
the "Cons" section : The -fast option lets the compiler assume that  
the target platform the code will run on is the same platform on  
which it was compiled (because it includes -xtarget=native))

So it has to be used with care.

Regards,

Stephane Letz
