# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_CC_MAXOPT
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   Try to turn on "good" C optimization flags for various compilers and
#   architectures, for some definition of "good". (In our case, good for
#   FFTW and hopefully for other scientific codes. Modify as needed.)
#
#   The user can override the flags by setting the CFLAGS environment
#   variable. The user can also specify --enable-portable-binary in order to
#   disable any optimization flags that might result in a binary that only
#   runs on the host architecture.
#
#   Note also that the flags assume that ANSI C aliasing rules are followed
#   by the code (e.g. for gcc's -fstrict-aliasing), and that floating-point
#   computations can be re-ordered as needed.
#
#   Requires macros: AX_CHECK_COMPILER_FLAGS, AX_COMPILER_VENDOR,
#   AX_GCC_ARCHFLAG, AX_GCC_X86_CPUID.
