I am happy to report that current llvm/llvm-gcc-4.2 svn builds all of xplor-nih (a complex mix of c, c++ and fortran) with -O3 -fPIC -msse4 -ffast-math. A single fortran file exposes PR3376 which is triggered by -O3 -ffinite-math-only. The resulting build of xplor-nih completely passes its testsuite and compares very well to the same build against gcc trunk for gcc 4.4 in terms of execution time. gcc 4.4 llvm-gcc-4.2 svn xplo 68.5205s 64.7649s xplor-python 152.9726s 154.7344s xplor-tcl 10.5005s 10.7039s FYI.
