Interesting ...

On ARM, I note that by default you are generating code for fpu=vfpv3-d16 
and armv7-a. Of interest is the fact that you aren't using the Neon unit 
at all if you configure the compiler with  --with-fpu=vfpv3-d16

Did you add any other architecture specific options to your SPEC2k runs ?
