Just to note, autoconf is not used in the FreeBSD source tree, so it
does not apply to the first two builds in the performance test (e.g.
building in-tree clang and gcc).
The other build is Boost, which has yet another totally different build
system, based on Perforce's Jam. Again, no autoconf.
In any case, for all three builds, the default optimization options were
used. Basically:
1) For building the FreeBSD in-tree version of clang 3.2:
-O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing
These are just the default FreeBSD optimization flags for building
clang, which are probably used by the majority of users out there.
This is the case that I was interested in particularly. The
-fno-strict-aliasing is not really my choice, but it was introduced
in the past by Nathan Whitehorn, who apparently saw problems without
it. It will hopefully disappear in the future.
2) For building the FreeBSD in-tree version of gcc 4.2.1:
-O2 -pipe
These are the default FreeBSD optimization flags.
3) For building Boost 1.50.0:
-ftemplate-depth-128 -O3 -finline-functions
These are the Boost defaults for gcc-compatible compilers, from
tools/build/v2/tools/gcc.jam.
