 Here it is, with `-O3 -march=native` and built in parallel:
 {{{
 All tests passed!
 Total time for all tests: 4804.3 seconds
 }}}

 So, there is an improvement of 3% compared with my system's gcc without
 optimization. That's not significant, but at least there is no slow-down.

 I can say that this gcc spkg is an interesting contribution, and it works
 for me. So, from my perspective, it is a positive review. However, I did
 not test on a machine where the gcc spkg is really needed (OS X, for
 example). Also, I am not sure if the vote on sage-devel on the inclusion
 of another standard package has come to a clear conclusion.

 Hence, I vote in favour of the spkg and insert my name as one reviewer,
 but I do think that a second or third opinion is needed, which is why I do
 not just change the ticket into a positive review.
