As a related side question that I've been wondering myself for some time already: what is the preferred way to compile numpy/scipy with those gcc optimization flags? Afaik, numpy's setup.py is simply picking up the flags that my distro's python was compiled with... Would the best way be to recompile python myself? Or could I fine-tune the gcc options just for numpy/scipy somehow?
