  40 When compiling for Alpha, MLton doesn&#8217;t support native code
  41 generation (<span class="monospaced">-codegen native</span>).  Hence, performance is not as good as
  42 it might be and compile times are longer.  Also, the quality of code
  43 generated by <span class="monospaced">gcc</span> is important.  By default, MLton calls <span class="monospaced">gcc -O1</span>.
  44 You can change this by calling MLton with <span class="monospaced">-cc-opt -O2</span>.

  49 When compiling for Alpha, MLton uses <span class="monospaced">-align 8</span> by default.
