Very interesting suggestion. I am principally in favour, and have only two concerns i) possible overhead, though the gcc manual seems to imply that it is affecting size only, not speed ii) Policy -- I am not sure if Debian has a view on this either way. I may bring this up on the Debian-science list. Would you mind also asking on the GSL list if there is a general recommendation in favour, against, or neutral?
