-ftree-vectorizer-verbose is analogous to the icc -vec-report option 
(included in -opt-report).
Among the questions not answered by -opt-report are those associated 
with application (or not) of -complex-limited-range (gcc 
-fcx-limited-range).
-opt-report3 I believe turns on reporting of software prefetch 
application, which is important but difficult to follow.
It's nearly impossible to compare icc and gcc optimization other than by 
examining assembly and using a profiler which shows paths taken.
