Opteron settings ;-)

The 5 lines to support the option aren't hard or controversial (to me). Feel free to submit a flag and code to support it for the Opteron... I wouldn't mind it, as we could then reduce 30 lines of local mods. I'll leave it to others to tell you (us), if this is a desirable direction for the compiler to go. I think it is. Compete or die, and if we don't compete, we will die. Measuring how we compete is part of competing, so, for me, the answer is obvious.
