What does this solve? Don't you think it is better to try to fix the actual problems? Some people like being able to optimize for their specific CPU, however much you can shoot yourself in the foot with it. I haven't seen any consistent bug reports yet, just a lot of complaints that indicate a rather high probability of PEBKAC. And just to counter the nay-saying, I compiled a number of boxes with clang -march=native (mostly of the Xeon/i7 variant) and I haven't seen any problems at all. _______________________________________________ freebsd-toolchain@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-toolchain To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-toolchain-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
