It is about 36% faster now. (Contributed by Pablo Galindo and Yury Selivanov
in :issue:`42093`.)
+* When building Python with ``--enable-optimizations`` now
+ ``-fno-semantic-interposition`` is added to both the compile and link line.
+ This speeds builds of the Python interpreter created with ``--enable-shared``
+ with ``gcc`` by up to 30%. See `this article
