[issue24915] Profile Guided Optimization active by-default

[Skip Montanaro]

Skip Montanaro added the comment:

Is this supposed to work on Macs using Apple's version of gcc? I've got the latest version of Yosemite and XCode, and am getting these warnings when trying to build 2.7:

clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-fprofile-generate'

Should this be enabled using a configure check? Perhaps gcc/clang supports this but spells the feature differently. gcc --help tells me:

% gcc --help | egrep profile
  -fprofile-instr-generate
  -fprofile-instr-use=<value>
                          Use instrumentation data for profile-guided optimization
  -fprofile-sample-use=<value>
                          Enable sample-based profile guided optimizations
