Much better explanation here: http://ctuning.org/wiki/index.php/CTools:MilepostGCC

The basic idea is to use machine learning to pick the best set of gcc compiler options for a program. A better optimizer for a compiler is useful but it's hardly a revolution.

Edit: to clarify, this isn't just choosing command-line flags, but using machine learning in the compiler's internals.
