Joachim Wagner <jwag...@computing.dcu.ie> added the comment:

The readme in 3.6.5 has a section on PGO but the sentence "If ran,
``make profile-opt`` will do several steps." can be misunderstood that one has 
to run this command instead of "make" after "configure --enable-optimizations". 
Furthermore, a 2015 post suggests that most Linux distributions use a different 
workload than the one provided for much better results. The readme should talk 
about this, either clarifying that this issue has been resolved or making 
recommendations for the workload. (I understand that licence incompatibilities 
or the size of the workload may be reasons for not including the recommended 
workload in the source distribution.)
