14 -ftree-vectorize replaces the already deprecated -fentmoot, which is of course a Really Old option for GCC where all code is blown up in memory and then parsed and spit out in as many different ways as possible to ultimately come to the best most very optimised way to say the simplest things. It is wise to also use -Woverly-longwinded in this case, so all the optimisation steps are written verbosely to stderr interspersed with funny anecdotal evidence of extraneously confablucious witticisms (to stdout, naturally).[1]

20 [1] -fentmoot got the chop from one of the Wizards of Yore who is known by many as Saruman the Black and White Water-Loving Bird, and the rest is History.
