Hi

I found this articel on the web http://www.vanshardware.com/articles/2004/03/040331_C3Fpu/040331_C3Fpu.htm

"VIA's C3 is an excellent CPU for low power x86 applications, but its integrated floating point unit is far from muscular. However, with a very minor software optimization trick, the C3's FPU's performance can be increased by up to 150% (2.5x) or more!"

Could this in some way be implemented into the make flags? or something simliar?
