No, no, this is a different situation - this is a numerical code and speed is critical, so one needs to control assembly output. So I want the C compiler to produce a binary where inner loops do exactly what I want. When you upgrade distros gcc and C libraries often have large changes. A lot of those changes are well-intentioned attempts to automatically secure programs against bugs or introduce speedups into poorly optimized programs, at the expense of numerical codes such as mine. So I compare runtime between different binaries and start digging into assembly to figure out what went wrong. This fine tuning is worthwhile because the code takes months to run. It is the results that are distributed to the users - they are portable and use MVL library (package RMVL if you use R). thank for looking into this !
