Just noticed, our CI always adds `-funroll-loops` to the explicitly specified set of flags, but I doubt it matters

...also we don't seem to use (or even build) lld, but it also should make no difference on what LTO does when optimizing the code

Should `628.pop2_s` also fail during benchmark start-up? It takes forever to execute it, so I guess it's not affected in my builds...

> @pawosm-arm Can you confirm in the `521.wrf_r` source files that the actual arguments I mentioned are not initialized? I am using an older version of the benchmark (v1.0.5) and...

> Since I can't reproduce the problem with the most recent release of our compiler, I'll try to build spec2k17's wrf with vanilla classic. Indeed, wrf fails (with segfault) right...

I'm slightly confused. Doesn’t classic-flang already zero-initialize variables (at least globals/module variables)?

I'm closing it. After many in-house discussions we came to a conclusion that no matter how we look at it, the most reasonable way of having two flangs is to...

@ppenzin it was a PGI's idea to improve the code quality: the more demanding C++ compiler in theory should expose existing flaws in the plain C code.

We all know how this code is and that there is plenty room for the improvements. Contributions are more than welcomed.

I'm closing it as none of the active maintainers have capability to proceed with this one. The volunteers are more than welcomed though, if there are actual issues with PPC/PPC64...
