Can we make it dependent on the triple?  i.e. if the triple is =
arch-whatever-freebsd9 or greater, make it pass the flag, otherwise =
don't bother?  Or is it not worth caring about older FreeBSD?  There's =

locally before 9.1 and not have to wait for LLVM 3.2 before we got to =
make use of it.

Misleading and poorly designed benchmarks on Phoronix are at stake!
