	Yes, absolutely sure:

	If you want me to make tests here, just ask. I always compile
all my installed software. My installation is just like Linux from
scratch, so I'm *almost* all the time at the bleeding edge.

	If you want to know, I use the following CXXFLAGS:

-O3 -march=native -pipe -floop-interchange -floop-strip-mine
-floop-block -ftree-loop-linear -ftree-loop-distribution

	and my machine is AMD64...
