There are certainly unusual codes out there, and PathScale has gotten
a lot of examples sent in by customers, thanks to the "if we're slower
than someone else, it's a bug" philosophy. This allowed us to improve
the compiler on a lot of non-benchmark codes.

In your case, I'd suggest that you use pathopt to search for better
flags.
