Historical GCC AMD FX-8150 Bulldozer benchmarked on GCC releases going back to GCC 4.2. GCC was just built from last point release in each series with the only option being --enable-checking=release. Flags set before PTS were CFLAGS="-march=native -mtune=native -O3" CXXFLAGS="-march=native -mtune=native -O3" test for a future article on Phoronix.com.
