... you got yourself a github, rather than announcing every frustration and failure here on the forums.

The code chunk you posted it pretty large. Most would suggest that you use pastebin or the like and github seems like a good suggestion. You will have the added benefit of version control.
3) ABS seems less maintained then arch packages themselves, there are many ABS build fails in clean chroot environment ( approx 1%in my tests ), most of these get fixed eventually, but that means at least a few packages in a fully optimised system will be original arch binaries ( for a while anyway )
It does seem that arch development would benefit from some kind of automated build system, that builds all packages regularly like every 2-4 weeks,
just to find out build fails like those.

yep you should be good to go with any processor since the script disseminates -march=native and sticks the flags in for you ( or puts in -march=native if you prefer ), but according to gentoo circles you wont get a lot of benefit from optimising for other architectures, whereas >GCC-4.70 has made massive improvements in i7 handling not a lot has changed with the other pc architectures.
My main system is a dual socket system with 2 quad-core amd opterons, and i have been thinking there might be a benefit from using optimised builds.
Can i do the wiki page or is there some vetting process? and yes i experimented with github but got nowhere fast would like to find somewhere to host it that wasn't rapidshare or something equally as crass
Anyone can start a new wiki page, but you should check the guidelines for how to set it up correctly (there are lots of useful templates for example).
The main question will be what category this wiki page should be under.
Github is intended for development with a version control system , but for filehosting you don't need that.
Many people use dropbox, my personal favorite is box.com .
Both have free accounts, check them out.
well now back at it will try to write my way round these issues

]]>atm the script looks like it's tailored to intel I7 processors, could it be adapted to work also for other intel and amd procs ?
