I'd be curious to know if changing "rustc -O" to "rustc --opt-level=3" has
any effect. Which is to say, I'm curious if currently we make any
distinction at all between opt levels 2 and 3.

Also, what version of Rust? I believe our support for
LLVM-SIMD-vectorization-pass voodoo only landed recently.
