+-flambda-opts <flags>
+ This experimental option will pass specific user flags to the
+ OCaml optimizing compiler. In most cases, this option is used
+ to tweak the flambda backend; we recommend using
+
+ -flambda-opts `-O3 -unbox-closures`
+
+ but of course you are free to try with a different combination
+ of flags. You can read more at
+ https://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/flambda.html
+
+ There is a known problem with certain OCaml versions and
+ `native_compute`, that will make compilation to require
+ a large amount of RAM (>= 10GiB) in some particular files.
+
+ We recommend disabling native compilation (`-native-compiler no`)
+ with flambda unless you use a modern (>= 4.06.0) OCaml.
