Compiler Optimization Flags Used in HPCC

[Wong, Stephen]

Hi Lucas, all,

We are using the HPCC suite for internal evaluation, basically just doing due diligence to understand the binary (we'll build from source also).

You might be aware of the case where Intel compilers can produce binaries that are not optimal for AMD processors (it was discovered in a lawsuit). But mostly I'm just concerned with how it's built for internal reasons.

Steve

For amd64, since it was built by the Debian maintainer (me) before the upload, the
log is not available. But you should be able to rebuild it from source,
and see it yourself.

May I ask why you are interested in that?
