I would be happy to see this open sourced, but I think that we can work something out regardless.

Also, once we get the current set of things resolved, I think it would be useful to test running with:

 -- -O3, LTO (-O4 or -flto),
 -- -fslp-vectorize, -fslp-vectorize-aggressive (which are actually separate optimizations)
 -- -ffast-math (if you can do floating point with tolerances, or at least -ffinite-math-only), -fno-math-errno
 (and there are obviously a whole bunch of non-default code-generation and target options).

Is it feasible to set up runs with different flags?

Agreed.

I recall an issue related to default settings for FP, and differences with libm implementation. Are there non-floating-point cases?

Will do!
