[RFC] Using SPEC CPU2006

[Mikhail Maltsev]

Hi, all!

Could anyone please share some tips/recommendations w.r.t. testing
performance of code generated by GCC using SPEC CPU2006 benchmark (e.g.
recommended configs and patches for SPEC sources, if needed).

For example, 400.perlbench fails to link (GCC complains on multiple
definition of some string-related functions, like here:
https://vmakarov.fedorapeople.org/spec/spec2006.toolbox/gcc/log/20150117/747.log).
Is there a workaround?

Also, I noticed that Vladimir stopped publishing SPEC 2006 results in
January 2015 (though current SPEC 2000 results are available). Is there
some policy on publishing benchmark results?
