I look forward to seeing the re-run on NetBSD.
If you are up to it, some of us would be interested in seeing the Gentoo 2.6 test re-run with a complete toolchain recompile (twice to freshen it) using GCC 3.4.x and -O3 -march=somecpu -ftracer as the CFLAGS, with -fvisibility-inlines-hidden added as well to CXXFLAGS (and maybe without too, if you're up to it). Also if you really do this, please check to be sure that you aren't using the hardened version of GCC... and heck, no PIE or SSP if you can force it... I know it's going overboard but this is a similar setup to what I'm using. I use NPTL and turn off linux threads in LibC so as to expose NPTL to all apps. Performance on a FX-55 is awe inspiring with these procedures, in my experience.

If you aren't up to it, I understand.
