I'm not proficient either.  I just noticed that if I followed the 
instructions in your e-mail,
it worked fine, but if I ran it through the shootout it failed.

Breaking it down into simple steps, I found that the -funroll-loops 
option was the culprit.

Unfortunately, while I can *add* options at a low level, I can't remove 
them.  So to get
rid of "-funroll-loops" I have to modify all Makefiles to add it (where 
it works) and then
remove it from the global makeful.  Bleah!  :-(
