Hi Ghislain,

thanks for your bug fixes and the tracking whether everything went fine
afterwards.

I admit that loosing performance on amd64 where people will use the
software in reality is not acceptable just for beeing able to compile it
on random architecture that are not relevant for practical work.  So if
the -mtune option can increase the performance it should be used on
amd64.
 
What do others here on the list think about this?

Kind regards and thanks again

      Andreas.
