A mix of signal analyzis and image manipulation.

Being able to compile some other binary with -O3 is, really, irrelevant since it worked fine to compile the binary I was referring to but it didn't behave in the correct way.

Have you verified that all the code in your kernel generated the expected binary?

The end result of the bit mashing and calculations is a combination of image recognition and some path prediction with heuristical algorithms on top.

I have no idea about the comparative complexity but it was enough to confuse g++ when using -O3.

I didnt't verify each binary
That was more of a joke. Most people assume that the compiler won't mess up in this way and it's often the right assumption.

and also I'm used to compile my kernel with ICC a compiler with more power then gcc (and more money). You can download our other work at www.linuxdna.com.

BTW. I have ICC linux license to sell. Half the prize?
I'm not involved in purchasing the tools used. But I'll suggest ICC to the developers so that they might have a look at it. A quick look at Wikipedia suggests good results for parallel computation.
