Right, I am sure they intended it to be absurd in an amusing way.

Indeed I did.

Although, I do somewhat think that working out good optimization flags for cross-platform compiles is a moderately unusual skill, even among people who compile things regularly. Hopefully I caveated that sufficiently, I’m not saying it is a hyper-advanced dark art or anything.

I have in the past set up code on a cluster to just compile on one node for the first run with -mtune=native because I’m lazy!
