Can you give me a link to download the source? If so I can try and make a binary for you.

If they aren't online you can email it to me. jshriver at google mail.

sorry for seeing this late -if you upgraded to high sierra, apple broke gcc pgo for -O2 and -O3 , only -O1 is working for PGO, non PGO bulls should be fine ( further gcc4.8 is in compatible with high sierra, you have to move gcc 5 or higher) - might as move to gcc7 since their builds are pretty decent even without pgo.

sorry no bmi2 builds here - it won't be faster anyway due to the above - clang and gcc are virtually the same speed for my machine.

No problem Mike - thank you very much :D

I'm up-to-date on the Mac - all updates installed. The gcc version you provided crashes (we've had this before) but the clang works perfectly.

Thanks once again.
