Okay, ignore the bit about forked packages. How's the rest of the
argument sound?
Sounds fine to me but I'm by no means an expert in compiler options
for different architectures :-) What sort of a win would we see
performance wise. Does it get done for all the packages or for just
things like kernel/glibc/openssl like it currently does for some of
the i386 packages?
