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 no real disadvantage in passing it unconditionally (marginally longer link times) and potentially a big benefit. I don't see a problem with committing it upstream, but it would be nice to pull that change in 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! David
