*<b><font style="font-size:100%"> 0.1 Run a benchmark program specifically designed not to use much of <code>glibc</code></font></b>
Any packages compiled for the beagleboards can be installed without optimisationoptimization. So far, in the case of <code>cdot-beagleXM-0-3</code> packages are compiled without it. In order to make use of ARMv7 architecture features, editing the <code>CFLAGS</code> to use <code>arm</code> optimisation optimization options will let the compiler attempt to improve the performance and/or code size of the program.
There has been a big focus on arm specific options for gcc recently. In gcc-4.4 the value <code>vfpv3</code> for the <code>-mfpu</code> option was included. More updates are expected for gcc as more and more companies focus their sights on ARM processors.
