Right, I want to do it right to begin with, as we'll undoubtedly have to do it anyway.Prior to this, on IRC Dan said to me that we need to avoid the hack that perl5 found itself in, when it had to retro-fit the ability to change the compiler flags per file.
This is all compiler and platform dependent. Pulling out GCC as an example, -O3 is too much for one or two of perl 5's source modules, but only on certain platforms and certain GCC versions. I have no doubt that we'll trip some C compiler bugs somewhere as well, so we might as well plan for it now.
