Writing portable standards-compliant code pays off.

They often have modules to access more recent versions.  You can also
request it.  Paying to upgrade commercial compilers while leaving open
source compilers at an old version is not good machine maintenance.

I usually use this, with or without -ffast-math depending on requirements:

  -O3 -march=native -ftree-vectorize
