[PD] Compilation - errors, options and questions

[IOhannes m zmoelnig]

if you want to raise multiple issues, please post multiple mails (with
different subjects).
it makes it much easier to find and follow interesting bits.

yes, and i'd say it's "experimental" :-)

this very much depends on your definition of "most" for both Pd and your
computer.
iirc, that the default arguments are pretty OK performance wise.
they don't enable any fancy CPU instruction sets, which usually gives a
very good compromise between performance and CPU compatibility.

if this doesn't fit your needs, you probably have to find out for
yourself (there was some genetic algorithm program that would find the
"optimal" compiler optimization flags, but this requires a
representative test corpus (aka patch))
